Sick of the Rain?
If it seems like it will never stop raining, take heart and consider what it was like in 2015. We took these when we were caught in a cloudburst while waiting for a kebab.
Cloudburst
Last October we went for a kebab at Paphos Harbour. The aim was to sit by the sea and eat them, watching the world go by. Unfortunately, the heavens opened before we got a chance to eat them.
From Road To River
It was fascinating watching the road turn into a river.
On The Main Drag
As my wife was in a wheelchair at the time with a broken leg, I left her and our daughter at the cafe and set off to get the car. It was quite surreal walking through a river that had been a road an hour ago.
The Bus Shelter
This was the bus shelter. I made it back to the car then drove around back to the kebab shop to pick up the ladies.
The Day After The Rain Before
The next day we were walking on the nature trail near Smigies Picnic Area on the Akamas. This bench had been swamped in a mud slide. Paphos itself recovered immediately though. The day after the flood you wouldn't have known it had happened.

Dust
Dust has been in the news recently. Dust warnings were all over the media last week, only to be scotched a day or two later by official sources. It turns out that the source of the original alert was one website. So, did they get it wrong or do the official sources need to change their seaweed?
New Old Paphos
It's been a few months since we last reported on the progress of the Old Paphos Regeneration Scheme.I had to visit the main Cyta Shop recently, and as I had time to kill I decided to take my camera for a stroll, to see how things were progressing. Autumn was in the air and the skies were fairly grey. There was even some rain at some point. However, the pictures will still hopefully show what a wonderful place Old Town Paphos is becoming.

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.
