Last few days

The last couple of days were spent chilling out reading and sampling the very comprehensive cocktail menu.  Cyprus is well known for Brandy sours - a heady mixture of brandy, lemon cordial, angustura bitter and soda - I won't be wasting my best Courvoisier in them!  The rain came and went and them came again mainly during our shopping trip to Limmasol, which was nice!

25 Million!!!
Across the road from the hotel a very large construction is in progress.  A glass edifice that apparently was a restaurant is being reconstructed as a villa for a wealthy Russian.  The cost of it - a cool 25 million Euros and si allegedly, the most expensive villa on the island!  If I had that money to spend I would want something more secluded and certainly not next to a main road or on a beach that doesn't have any sand! 

The trip home was long - a 5 hour flight - but at least there was plenty of room for us to stretch out!  So back to the cold of Wales - we will return to Cyprus though as I still want to buy one of those plastic jumping penises for Tufty.
