Coral Bay Strip Drone Update - 25th May - Grand Opening!


Today Coral Bay Strip re-opened to pedestrians, with the Presidential seal of approval. For obvious security reasons I didn't attempt to fly the drone while he was on his walkabout. I filmed this when they  had moved up to the Linear Park for the ceremony. 

I was amazed at how much they had done since the last film (on Thursday).  The trees are now in place along with bollards. I think the ones closer to the Cali Resort end might be temporary. I will find out on Monday when I meet for a final briefing with the lead Engineers.

Cyprus 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.
