Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Today Joan and I went over to the south side to get a few bits and pieces that you just can't get here. Prior to that we had a quick meeting with our builder and we all inspected the bathroom tiling. You would not believe the difference a professional tiler could make to the whole job.
Since Bill and Margaret went back we have had some really heavy downpours, one of these was the afternoon whilst we were coming down the hill in to Kyrenia, the road was awa
sh, but it still doesn't seem to slow down some of the locals, amazing! When we got back to Lapta they seem to have had very little of this rain but clearly the storm caused problems as around 6.15 p.m. the power went off and in fact stayed off until early morning. Joan and I got out the candles and the emergency lights, lit the gas with matches and did a very nice pasta meal with some prawns, mushrooms, tomatoes and fresh cream.
We then spent most of the evening watching a really impressive Electric Storm. It was quite staggering to see as obviously the storm was over on the mainland, behind the clouds covering us, so there was absolutely no noise from the accompanying thunder and no rain here. I took about 40 pictures, trying to time the shutter exposure with the lightening flashes, interesting stuff and about 4 or 5 of them worked quite well.
