Hairy Monsters
Odd Dance
These caterpillars look like they are performing a bizarre mating ritual. Obviously this is not what they are actually doing, as they are baby butterflies and far too young for that sort of thing. Perhaps they saw a couple of romantic snakes indulging in a bit of hanky-panky, and tried to copy them?
I know these aren't processionary caterpillars, but I still wouldn't want to hold one. And if you are unsure which species is which, just adopt the catch-all approach and leave them all alone.
One Last View From Alex
Alex took a lot more caterpillar shots, but I think you get the picture from the ones I've shown.
Towards Paphos Forest
Thank you Alex, for your close-ups. We will finish off the blog with a series of shots taken from a quick walk around the area.

Spring is in The Air!
Yesterday we took a walk out across the Akamas, above Avakas Gorge (which deserves a blog article of its own). Spring was definitely in the air, and the flowers were blooming. We took a few shots to share.
Evretou Dam
Ever since we explored the abandoned villages of Evretou and Trimithousa, we have been meaning to return and have a look at the rest of the reservoir. A chance wrong turn gave us just the opportunity we needed, so off we went. It took us a few visits to get the full picture of the reservoir, but we saw some lovely scenery along the way...Related Pages

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
