Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

See I told you things change. Last night we had a thunderstorm and every time there are a few lightening flashes the lights go out. We had two periods of no electricity, varying from a short 10 minutes to a gap of almost two hours in candlelight.Today was different. The power went off around 5 a.m., came on again at 9 a.m. for about 10 minutes and then went off again for the rest of the day. We do have a gas hob and matches so can do something to eat, but around 8 o'clock Joan and I got fed up and went down to Kyrenia to eat. Mustapha at the Yenihan restaurant had power and hot food and we were able to joke about the "This is Cyprus" saying that is generally used to cover these situations. Mustapha, bless him, sent us on our way with a brandy on the house and a candle to light our way.
