Old Town 2022 Update - Part 3
Imposter Snowman Bear
What's worse, an imposter snowman bear seems to be getting prepped for Prime Time. What happened? Did Bear In The Air start demanding too much in fees? Did they leave for somewhere new? And without the sign, will anybody even recognise them as a work of art? Or did they take the sign with them? Were they insulted by the rather mediocre 3 stars I awarded them in my review?
Questions... Questions...
To The Church
Emotionally drained, I needed a spiritual respite, so headed for the local church. You may recall from Part 2 that we observed this church at the far end of Street Art Square. The murals had all been painted over and it looked like a playground was being built. I wanted a closer look.
Future Playground
They've certainly been busy here.
Street Art Square
This is the view of the old mural square form the Church. There used to be a wall here, in case you were wondering where the work by Miriam McConnon had gone. Another thing to point out is that they are building shades alongside the play area.
I'm not sure what these features will be. Some sort of lighting? They appear to have an electrical supply. Possibly flowerbeds with inset lighting? Only time will tell.

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.
