Paphos Chinese Garden Revisited
Last year we reported on the new Chinese Playground that had been built in Paphos. If you remember it featured twelve statues symbolising the various years in the Chinese Calendar. We were recently passing, and decided to see how it was getting on.
Empty Plinths
The swings and climbing frames are all still intact. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the statues.
No Body Home
I wonder what happened to the rest of this one?
Headless Tigger
In fact, most of the statues seem to have been removed.
Despite this, the park is very popular with kids, when they are allowed on it.
I think the lesson to be learned here is don't put fragile statues in Children's Play Areas.
You can't blame the kids. This is what they do. This is what they have always done.
One problem a lot of parks suffer from is lack of maintenance. There are a number of parks planned for Paphos in the near future. I do hope they include a decent maintenance plan in their budget.

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.
