The 7th Paphos Classic Vehicle Show
Class Act
But you have to admit, it is shiny.
VIP Treatment
At first glance you might think that some kind man is giving an old-timer a treat by buzzing him around the harbour on his bike. However, it is in fact the arrival of two of the organisers. The driver is, I think, the guy who owns the Vintage Motorcycle Museum. The passenger is (possibly) the secretary of the Classic Vehicle Club. I say possibly because I only half-heard the announcement, and I like to keep my research to a bare minimum.
Harley Corner
These were the bikes I mentioned.
Mini Moke
A friend of mine used to own a Mini Moke, and drove it around Cyprus. I had never seen one until now. It looks like a glorified ATV!
On The Buses
I did two circuits of the show. The first time I was filming it, so if you want to see every car and bike you should watch the film. Don't worry, I don't try and describe each vehicle as I pass it. That would be far too painful. Instead, I added a suitably vintage soundtrack. There is a link at the end of the article.
Anyway, by the time I was on my second lap, and using my DSLR to take some pictures, the weather had clouded over a bit. Still, at least it wasn't raining, and when it was announced that you were allowed to go in to the Open-Top Bus parked in the centre of the show, I wasted no time.

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.
