Recent photos from Limassol

Hi
I've not posted for a while so thought I would share some photos with you:

Kouris Dam near Ypsonas - almost ready to go over the top. But, we think they're keeping this one back until tomorrow for the EOKA Day public holiday (1st April)

Water coming down through the mountains and making it's way into the run off into Kouris River

Standing by the outlet pipe where the overflow is being managed by the water authorities of Cyprus

Olives and Oranges - taken from the roof of our bungalow.

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Here's our Indie being taught the finer points of SEO and Google Analytics.

From our holiday in Malta last month. This was taken at Marsaxlokk harbour.

Big, white pants!

We try to go to a different place or village for every public holiday in Cyprus. Next one after Christmas will be for Epiphany on 6th January 2012.

Was yesterday the last time in the pool for 2011?

We wemt off up to the pool yesterday afternoon at about 2.30pm.

It was a warm day and hardly any breeze but just as we were leaving the house for the short drive to the Aphrodite Club, it clouded over :-(

However, the sun was out when we arrived and we were surprised to find only a few sunbeds available. Only 2 child was in the pool too which was a pleasant surprise. Often on a Sunday, the pool is full of screamers which I'm not very tolerable of.

I was the brave one - I went in the pool TWICE while my husband managed to sit and dangle his ankles into about  3 inches of the pool's surface before deciding it was too cold and that I must be quite mad! I did swim about 4 lengths and as long as I kept moving, it was okay...

After starting my new book - I decided on the Agatha Raisin mystery book The Terrible Tourist, which is set in Kyrenia (Turkish occupied north of Cyprus) and getting into quite a few pages of it, I found it was getting hot and sticky plus the flies were being a right royal pain in the bum (always the case when the weather starts to cool down). No option for it - back in the pool :-D

But, I can't see the weather lasting out long enough for another weekend of pool swimming. I may get into the sea but, we'll see...

Next Saturday in the early evening, we're off to the Angel Bar in Kolossi to help raise funds for Sirius Dog Sanctuary by attending Wez Thompson's book signing of "Alfie - A Dog's Tail". It starts at 6pm (if you want to see the signing, that is) followed by food at 7pm and a live band around 9pm.

Tickets are €10pp. Get tickets from all SBA Hives, and D N Satellite and Cable Solutions in Kolossi.
Remember, all funds from this charity event go to Sirius Dog Sanctuary in Moni, Limassol.
For more info, contact Wez Thompson (BFBS Radio DJ and author of Alfie, a dog’s tale).

Getting busy with Cyprus baby equipment rentals again.

Well it's that time of year when the older kids are back in school and harried mums and dads with pre-school age children only can take advantage of lower holiday costs. Yeahey!

Having children below the school age means you cannot be penalised by those crafty Tour Operators putting up the prices over the main school holiday dates...

We've noticed particularly this year that we're receiving a lot of last minute inquiries for our prices and availability to rent car seats and travel cots this month so must assume the recent economy crisis is affecting the pre-booking in advance of holidays to Cyprus and presumably other holiday destinations....

Cyprus with Babies is a part-time, home run business so we do not carry a huge amount of stock. Therefore, we would like to apologise in advance if for any reason we cannot meet your needs for last minute bookings.

Where possible, please try to contact us at least 2 - 3 weeks prior to your holiday arrival date. For Cyprus residents anticipating the impending arrival of your grandchildren we do realise that quite often they turn up unannounced or at the drop of a hat and so for our "regular" customers, we will always do our utmost to fulfill your needs.


Kind regards
Michele
