Football Shirt party and a New Weather camera

We were kindly invited to a birthday party that was held for three local guys at Adam and Heidi's house in Pissouri.

          

The theme of the Party was to wear a football shirt, the tops of most of the major teams were on show and even one from Ghost busters FC.
There was even a lady  referee (Tania) and two linesmen who handed out disciplinary yellow and red cards for various offenses and the forfeit was to drink a alcoholic shot.




Various table games were played including blow football and a version of "Play your cards right"





A New weather camera has been set up at the top of Pissouri Village by By Kitas weather,.It shows the local school and views of Pissouri and the surrounding area . It can be reached by the link below.

A walk along Pissouri Bay

The glorious winter weather in Cyprus continues, so we headed down to Pissouri Bay for a stroll along the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea. It was good to see a number of people on the beach enjoying the sunshine.


While there, we also explored the trail that winds its way up to Cape Aspro. The trail seems to been improved from our last visit and we will  have to hike this trail on our next visit.

The Mediterranean was incredibly serene, as still as a sheet of glass, and its waters were crystal clear.

pre Birthday Lunch in Mandria

On another glorous Winter's day we drove over to the village Mandria for Mandy's pre birthday lunch at the  Klimatoria restaraunt. We were joined by Pete and Tania, Steve and Mary and Wayne and Toni.

Although the Klimatoria is know  for its traditional Cypriot food they also serve from an Asian menu and that's what we decided to for.

The food was plentiful and delicous and the setting in the outside terrace was comfortable as the dappled sun shone through the grape vines.



We returned to Pissouri and continued the celebrations at the  Pissouriana hotel.

Jimmy Carr in Nicosia

On a beautiful Winter's day we left Pissouri and drove to the Island's Capital  City of Nicosia.
We based in the Erkomi district of the City in a small, but clean apartment. 


The reason for our trip was to see the British comedian, Jimmy Carr. Jimmy is know for his "close to the bone humour " and he kept the 3,000 crowd laughing for his 90 minute show.
