Cyprus Sunset - a week away from work


Cyprus Sunset, originally uploaded by garyt70.


Chill out week in Cyprus, kids loved it and I actually relaxed... well a few stressful minutes (kids don't allow complete relaxation).

We booked the villa through Holiday Rentals, the location was superb, easy walking distance of a quiet but pebbly beach or alternatively go to Coral Bay about 10-15mins walk. Coral Bay beach is ideal for young kids as well as teenagers.

Anyway I completely chilled out didn't check e-mails or mobile phone calls. Lots of fine food sitting in the sun and playing with the kids, weather was lovely.

Paphos water park was a big hit with the kids, although the scary part of adults is that you pay on the way out! You buy drinks and food using a wristband - everyone gets one. So if you're not careful the cost can soon add up when the little sprogs realise they can get ice cream on demand.

Had to do a few tourist things so went to Kato Paphos to see the ruins of the old town. The kids really enjoyed the Tomb of the Kings, you basically walked through all of the ruins, not barriers preventing them climbing into tombs.
Personally I'm not sure this could go on much longer otherwise things will soon get crumbled into dust

The only down side was coming home Paphos airport was a complete nightmare - 3 hours of queues.
