Famagusta Day 2

The day started with Rob walking down to the local Turkish barbers for a haircut and hot towel shave. There was not to much conversation between customer and barber due to the language barrier, but the outcome for Rob was very good.

We then took a stroll around the ruins of Church of Saint George of Latins and the walls of Othello Tower. There really  are a remarkable number of historical buildings and ruins in Famagusta. 

We then took a drive along the coast road that runs along Famagusta bay. The amount of new construction on this road is quite amazing. We stopped off for a coffee at the town of Bogaz at roadside bar and to admire the views out to sea.

We then headed back to the old city and went over to Palm beach, which has changed so much since we were last there in 2011.

In the evening we strolled up to the Fa kebab which is close to the White tower gate of the old city wall. The Fa kebab was well used by the locals, which is always a good sign.

We finished off the evening at the Ravelin Gate restaurant for a night cap. Across the road was a brick a brack shop, where outside a few older locals were enjoying their drinks.
