The 1911 club in Pissouri was the venue for a darts competition, a good crowd turned up and there was plenty of good natured banter.

To Celebrate Lisa's Birthday, family and friends met in Pissouri square.












Somebody posted on A social network site that one of the Guests was going to "Splash the Cash", sadly this rumour turned out to be false.

With the Cypriot weather still unpredictable in the middle of May we made our way down to a BBQ at Paul's house. The afternoon started of with a cold wind and a light shower, but then clouds parted and the sun came out and the kids were soon in the pool.















Dave Sykes who is attempting an epic solo, record breaking microlight journey from York, England to Sydney, Australia, flew into Paphos  for repairs to his aircraft before continuing onwards to Egypt.

Pissouri Hike

With the temps rising on the Island of Cyprus, Rob and Steve took the opportunity  to hike The Pissouri loop. Starting off on the South end of the village, they followed the contours of the hills as they meandered down towards Pissouri Bay.


 









There is plenty of wildlife to be seen at this time of year, but a careful eye has to be kept out for the danger of snakes.

Our friends, Simon and Karen, flew into Cyprus to spend some time in Pissouri. First point of order was a rooftop barbeque on their terrace that overlooks Pissouri Bay.
