Cyprus is, as you'd imagine, very laid back. Things take time and when we get back to Wales it'll be a bit of a shock for meals in restaurants to arrive within half an hour. The Cypriots are very easy going and don't rush around at all....until they get behind the wheel of a car! On the motorway we we're overtaken by everything. Ancient L200 twincabs are everywhere, there must be 20 or 30 of them in the small village where we are staying. Mitsubishi did a very good marketing job around 15 to 20 years ago, they were probably too good at this because once everybody had an L200 they all just kept it going and there are very few more recent models.
Kalavasos, the village where we are staying is home to the Tenta, a huge tent which protects a neolithic settlement from the elements. This was inhabited 9000 years ago by neolithic people (homo sapiens) not neanderthals (homo neanderthalensis) who lived 30,000 years ago! Not sure what era Smurfs came from but there's one in the picture below somewhere!

And just to show you that we do like to be beside the seaside this is Zygi beach, not sandy but full of lots of different coloured pebbles, including some nice flatties for skimming across the waves - oh what a life!
