Year: 2003

Saturday the Trip day. Today we set our goal to Cape Greko again. Long trip, lots of driving, and we finally there. It was nice, but not as spectacular as Akamas. Made few pictures and drove around a bit more. Then we came about a sandy beach that Hazard wanted to visit very much, but everyone else didn’t hear his wish, so we past by it. Well, next time…

Search for food brought us to Larnaca, where we tried to eat first in some greek tavern, which was out of char coal due to off season, and the guys were lazy enough not to make frappe for Olga. We moved around a bit and found a place called Koulis tavern or something, which was described in a “Rough Guide to Cyprus” as a place where one can eat, but the smell of burned oil or burned fish was so heavy and terrible that we didn’t even sit for a minute.

That left us out of ideas, so we decided to get into to the first place which would look nice, which happened to be right next door to Koulis. Varoshiotis Seafood Restaurant. Excellent place. The interrior had a somewhat inside-the-nice-yacht designs, nicely done menu, good service. We settled there. Lots of food and drinks. Octopus was the best starter out of all we had. Jack Daniels’ sword fish was excellent, though Hazard didn’t like it at all, and Lev ate it but said it was so-so. I enjoyed the sweet and sour taste with an excellent sause which I have no idea how they made. The sause tasted like appricot jam with onion. Or at least that is as close as I can get. :) Separate menu for deserts, nice ice creams, cakes, and the other sweet staff. I also had a cup of excellent Costa Rickan filtered coffee. The bill was reasonable, but not cheap. Overall, both Olga and I liked it so much that we will go there once again sometime. To top that all, there is also a website for this restaurant – www.varoshiotis.com.
It’s all in greek, but pictures and the map can still be useful, if you can find them. :)

Back to Limassol. We decided to go to the movies again today. It was still early, so we sat on the balcony having a nice discussion. :)

The movie we went to see today was “Bad Boys II“. It was not bad, but I cannt call it exceptional by any means. Lots of gun fights, bad language, jokes, cars, babes, police, etc. If you are for the movie, but there is nothing else to choose from, go and see this one. ;)

Wow! Today I was woken up by a sound of thunder.! Rushed outside on the balcony to find that it was raining. And I am not talking about a 3 second 2 drop rain. There is a real rain with thunders and lightnings! The sky is not much of interest though, since it’s plain grey – without any figury clouds. But that will come. Today is the first rain in something like 6 month! That’s a true holiday!

Olga is sad. Summer is over. :)

Saturday the trip day again. :)

Original plan to go to Cape Greko (or whatever it’s name is), but due to our late leave we changed the plan on the way. Nissi beach. While it’s not that hot any more as it used to be, the water is still warm and beach time is still on.

We stayed long, until the sunset. Numerous beach activities like study of ants’ lifestyle in isolated laboratires made from playing cards and digging alive human being (Lev) into sand made the time pass.

Back home in Limassol a quick shower and search for food, which guided us into a never-yet-tried new Yugoslavian restaurant “Garden”. While it looked somewhat better then our all times favourite “Kod Cece”, the food and service was the same or worse. The music was distructing some of us real bad too. Anyway, I don’t think we’ll visit it anytime soon.

A game of poker at our place with me loosing whatever I had, plus going into debts. Luckily, I am married to a rich woman, who won the game. ;)
