Finally Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a very short week but if felt like it lasted for ages. For the last two weeks, we had guests staying with us so I didn’t get many chances to blog (I was too busy editing the 500+ new pictures I took). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But enough of excuses, back to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need a bottle of water for this one, you’ll get sweaty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or if you’re like me, and are currently enjoy gin and tonic in the comfort of your own home office, that’s fine too. I will look the other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here’s the story. My mum has been in Cyprus<\/a> many times now during the 4 years I’ve lived here, but every time for various reasons I failed to take her on a hike<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She is a keen hiker<\/span>, or what I call her – “a mountain goat” – you know the ones who climb on the steepest peaks and cling on with their fingernails? That’s her. Minus the grey hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So a week ago we finally went to Akamas to give her the full tour of the Aphrodite trail<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But before that, on your way through Peyia<\/span> from Paphos<\/a>, there is an important stop for a lookout and pictures. The pictures were taken near a restaurant<\/span> called Green Hill<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n
