Dam Busters
Published 24th of December, 2018
Filling Up
We were pleased with the dam, but it was gradually filling up.
Full
Rather than break the dam ourselves, we decided to wait until it overflowed naturally.
There She Blows...
Had our daughter not got so wet and cold, we would have built a little village below this dam, for added effeft.
I was surprised at the volume of water we had managed to dam. It made quite a roar as it cascaded over the rocks.

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.
