We spoke to Sarah the Olympic Holidays rep today, we asked about the Sunday Market in Larnaca, you get a trip to Larnaca, some time around the Market and then a trip to an animal sanctuary to see camels, horses, rabbits etc. It worked out to be about €80 for the trip… Hmmm a little … Continue reading Day 8 – 6th August 2011
Adam is feeling better today, the antibiotics seem to be working. We went and spent the morning by the pool and after lunch went for a walk along the boardwalk by the beach. We saw the Black Pearl, which is an excursion we would like to do next week and they had a swimming stop … Continue reading Day 7 – 5th August 2011
Adam still not very well, ended up calling the doctor who arrived in less than 20 minutes. Certainly better service than the UK, but it is all private, fortunately covered by the travel insurance. Turns out Adam has a chest infection, so he was prescribed antibiotics and a cough medicine, again covered by the insurance. … Continue reading Day 6 – 4th August 2011
I managed to get up early today and went for a swim at 8am, also managed to get some good sun beds. We took it easy today, with just a brief trip up to the shops for Adam to buy a wallet, he managed to get a nice set with a wallet, pen, keyring and … Continue reading Day 5 – 3rd August 2011
There was no early morning swim today and no flesh eating fish… Adam’s not been too well today, he’s had a temperature and spent most of the day in bed. This picture was taken after a dose of paracetamol, he felt well enough to have ice cream followed by some fish and chips, but not … Continue reading Day 4 – 2nd August 2011
The weather has turned… We were out by the pool when all of sudden the sky clouded over. People rushed for cover but we braved the elements determined not to let the bad weather spoil our holiday. During the mass exodus, I managed to take a quick photo of natures onslaught in the sky…… Hehehehehe….!!!!! … Continue reading Day 3 – 1st August 2011
Well the music lasted until 5am and gave Adam and I a disturbed night, unusually Laura actually slept and didn’t hear anything. Actually neither did Mum and Dad. Adam’s cough still isn’t great, so we went off to the pharmacy to get some cough medicine and a browse around some gift shops. After breakfast we … Continue reading Day 2 – 31st July 2011
What a day… Up at 3am to have enough time to wake up to pickup mum and dad. Laura didn’t have any sleep, and I (Neil) had about 3hours . Adam didn’t have much more… The day started great, no traffic on the M25 and free tolls as it was 4.30am… After that things went … Continue reading Day 1 – 30th July 2011
The last day before going on holiday is always the most stressful! Making sure all of those last minute jobs are done (the last minute of course). Passports, holiday money, dog in the kennels, house tidy (it’s so nice to come home to a tidy house), all of the tech packed, some clothes. Oh an … Continue reading One Day To Go
Well its home time, we’ve had a really good holiday, and as always with good holidays, it was too short. The lodge was lovely; thanks to the owners Chris & Amy (we only spoke to Chris and he gave us some useful tips for the fishing). I/Neil did find the bed uncomfortable, but I normally do. … Continue reading Friday 3rd June 2011
