Love Is Like A Butterfly
The butterflies have been keeping us all amused over the last few weeks. The Painted Ladies have been flying from Africa to Continental Europe, and stopping off in Cyprus to say hello...
Painted Lady
Isn't she lovely? There's going to be a lot of pictures of butterflies in this blog. There will be a fascinating fish on page 6, and two dragonflies get it on in the final scene on page 7, but for most of the blog, it's all about the butterflies.
Battered Beauty
This means of course, that I won't have much to say. Let's face it, without getting all Lepidopterological, there isn't much to say that the pictures don't say better themselves.
In this picture though, I would like to point out that the butterfly's wings are a bit battered. This was a common theme, the poor butterflies had got a bit of a beating on their journey so far.
Pollen Fun
And what of that journey? Well, according to the nuggets of information floating around the internet, the butterflies originated in North Africa, and are headed to mainland Continental Europe. However, these butterflies are approaching Paphos from Israel. I can only presume then, that the winds took them over there first, and are now bringing them back again.
It's Not All About The Painted Lady
We also saw some other butterflies, but these were a lot less common.

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.
