Feb 21, 2008 - Five Guys Named Nick

I’m in Cyprus now. Larnaca, to be precise. ... Larnaca has 73,000 people and all of them appear to be involved in the tourist industry, which means that in February they are extremely lonely. ...

May 17, 2007 - Paphos, Cyprus

Paphos,Cyprus I arrived at the Venus Beach Hotel at 8:30 pm on Friday night after 24 hours of flying. ... Bangkok-London-Paphos with a change of airports at London! When I checked in the staff mentioned a local dance group would be performing in the bar at 9:30. ... So I dumped my bags and went down-my current theory on jet lag is to be really tired! The dancing was fun to watch and in the course of the evening I met Val Mundy from London who was also here on her own and Andreas an 80 year old local character (you can see their portraits in the photo gallery) and the theory worked! NO JET LAG Val has been a great companion.Paphos,Cyprus I arrived at the Venus Beach Hotel at 8:30 pm on Friday night after 24 hours of flying. ...
