Turning left we see brown fields where once we saw green. I prefer the spring view, to be honest, but it still has its own charm.

My wife calls these lupinesque flowers triffids. I dislike them, because they seem to grow easily in Cyprus, yet all my lupins died a sorry death.

Up towards Droushia, you can just make out the military building. We are heading back to Kato Arodes now, on a route we have not travelled in the past.

You can see in the scorched earth how the land used to be divided. It was obviously more heavily farmed in the past. In certain parts of Cyprus you can see miles of dry-stoned walls, marking old farm boundaries long-since abandoned.

In spring this view will look spectacular. So we will see you here in a few months!

We often get asked how we come up with places to visit on our blogs. When we started, we were visiting places we had found geocaching. These days though, we just go out and see where we end up. Admitedly, this is a lot easier to do when you know your way around and can recognise distant landmarks. But you can do a bit of exploring without making a huge expedition out of it. We only had an hour to kill on this visit, but we still had plenty of fun, and came away with an old wartime relic.
