Baby Alfie arrives and a new Cypriot Driving Licence

Last year we were privileged to be invited to Lisa and Shane's wedding, well this week the happy couple announced the arrival of their baby son, Alfie.
Alfie was born in Limassol and weighed in at 6 pounds- 8 ounces.


















At the beginning of this Month, Cyprus came into line with the majority of  other European countries when Transport minister Marios Demetriades  announced we would be introducing the laminated, credit card sized driving licence into the country. Previously we had a cardboard licence with the photo stapled to it and Rob's cardboard licence was falling apart.
