Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Lots in the papers still about the London bombs and the search for those guilty of this atrocity and about a "Day of Shame" action organised by the International Council for Northern Cyprus to protest the 31st anniversary of the 1974 Greek inspired coup in Cyprus. A positive action by many Turkish Cypriot people who now at last are rising against their isolation and the deprivation of their rights.
Lots more about the new immigration laws. The BRS are strongly advising that anybody with either as permanent or temporary home here should comply with the law and get those residency stamps in your passport and don't forget the annual renewals. The daily fine for overstaying your tourist vis
a is YTL 66.4 and one fine of £250 has already been paid at the airport. I have always said on this site that I fail to understand why people come over here to enjoy the life style and then ignore the regulations. The regulations have always been there, just not enforced too vigorously, now things have changed and it is paramount that you get organised, if you have lived here for many years, as I believe many have and not registered, then if you get caught its self inflicted and deserved.
There is a strong possibility that direct flights will commence from Azerbaijan to TRNC. It only needs one or two smaller countries to start moves like this and the door could be open for carriers from other countries to commence direct flights. Another move in the general direction of world recognition.
A night out at The Green Coast holiday resort for the Lapta Layabouts and some of their visitors. Roger plays there on Saturday nights now for the summer season so we thought some moral support was needed. If we keep this up we will become known as Roger's groupies, heaven forbid. The Green Coast is actually owned byDr Kemal's family and we have been there as their guests on previous occasions and it is always a good evening with a BBQ being prepared out on the jetty over the water.
