After my sailing watch, I had two off days... and seeing how they coincided with arriving in Cyprus, I took the opportunity to explore the island a little.
I made two principal journeys. On Sunday, I visited Limisoll Old Town (albeit briefly). Imagine my delight when I realised that in Cyprus, they drive on the left side of the road! Indeed, much of the scenery is reminiscent of the UK, including road signs, shops and language. In Cyprus, Greek and English are the principal languages.
On Monday, I joined some friends and made the journey to the city of Paphos. Wow! What a city! There was so much history here, even a location where the Apostle Paul visited! I had some homemade food at a classic restaurant and got to see a wonderful old church! Look at the mosaic!
We had to rush back to the bus to get back to the ship in time. By then, I was pretty exhausted.
As I write this, I have an off-day before a week of watchkeeping again. I'm looking forwards to it, but I have a spot of toothache, so please pray for that! Thank you!
