Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
I have had a couple of days of running around and playing catch up in the kitchen/air conditioning department but today, apart from a short trip in to town, we devoted to Bill and Margaret.
They are leaving us this evening after a very lovely three weeks together and we hope that they will be back again next year as we all four rub along quite well together. We will also try to find some time next summer to go and visit them in their new home in Harrogate.
We spent the lunch time sitting in the sun at Sunset Beach hav
ing had a swim in the sea, which incidently is much warmer than our pool now, follwed by the very excellent bacon butties that they serve up at lunch time. To hell with the diet......
Late afternoon we swopped cars with George, to give us more luggage space, and then went over to Nicosia where we parked up in the old town, near the mosque and then went to the Spanish/Italian restaurant which is in the grounds. After an excellent pasta meal we drove them over to Larnaca airport. We were stopped on the Greek Cypriot side of the border and their cases where very thoroughly searched, looking of course for any papers related to property in the North. Just another warning, don't carry any paperwork around with you if you travel this way, there is just no point in playing into their hands. One couple were standing there looking very forlorn, with their cases open on the customs table.
We left them at the airport around 11 p.m.to check in, but their flight was not until 2.30 a.m. They just insisted that we headed off home as it was already late enough they said.
