From Simou To Polis
An Old Church?
My money is on an old church. This is always a fairly safe bet.
Busy River
We walked down to the river, and there was a fair torrent splashing past. Had the bridge still spanned the river then a game of Pooh sticks would not have lasted very long.
We also saw a strange animal, as we approached the water. It ran along the banks, and looked for all the world like a small otter. It was far too long to be a rat, and definitely wasn't a fox. But I have never heard of otters in Cyprus before.
Animal Tracks
The animal disappeared into the undergrowth by the riverbank before we could take a picture of it; it was running very quickly when I first saw it. However, I did manage to take a picture of its tracks. So if a Bear Grylls amongst you recognises the track please let me know. All google has shown me is that it probably wasn't an otter.
Nice Tree
There was a lovely big tree nearby too, which I had to photograph.
Onwards To Lysos
Anyway, we must move on. Once you have finished exploring the bridge and mill, get back in the car and cross the bridge. Stay on the main road and head up towards Filousa. When you come to this sign, turn right. Trimithousa is worth exploring too. It is an abandoned village, one of several around here. However, today we are going elsewhere.
