Cyprus - Still Here

Winter sun in Cyprus

Eight and a half weeks later and we are still on Cyprus. We completed our time outside Schengen a couple of weeks ago, and are eligible for the next ninety day run within the block. Normally we would have pushed off sharpish, with Leonidio the current most likely destination. We have dallied because of the Omicron Variant sweeping across the world, it seemed safer to sit it out here - where we don't interact much with people and where society seems very sensible in their handing of the current restrictions.

The weather has been cool and unsettled for a couple of weeks with day time temperatures about 12C and nights down to 7C - though it still seems to be one of the warmest places in Europe - they have even had snow in Kalymnos.

Stormy weather

I have continued to climb once or twice a week and explore the local area plus further afield. We even had a short break over in the east, a lovely pad in the resort of Protaras close to the Cape Greko climbing area. It turned out that we were virtually the only people in town - everything was shut up for the winter - so much for the plan of eating out a couple of times!

Flights booked for Athens next week - Leonidio bound for a month or so - back on the road again :-)
