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

This morning I went round to see our friend Henny, Arie's mum, who has been almost constantly in hospital since last August. This was of course my main reason for making the journey up here. This lady is a real fighter and although very tired, she is this week trying to do more and more for herself. It was great to see her and I have to say I was amazed at how well she is coping. She obviously tires very easily so will have to be careful with my visits t

In the afternoon I went in to Aphen, to a big electronics shop, to price up LCD TVs for Stewart and Barbara, as Stewart saw that as an opportunity not to be missed to maybe get one cheaper than in France. How right he was, so guess I will be travelling back with a 40" Samsung in the boot.

On my way back to Nieuwkoop, I couldn't resist stopping in a parking area to take a traditional view picture of one of the windmills on the roads in. These are a real tourist thing in this area, but because of the huge lake just outside the village they used to be extensively used to pump water off the lower lands. There is one that has been restored and working and can always be seen turning round when the wind is right.
