Re: education– or lack thereof
The low standard of education in the State run schools has for a long time been very low,specially in the secondary schools. Half day school lessons, with indolent teachers has been the norm. Local parents who can afford it send their children to private schools, like the International School. Many ...

Re: Traffice light cameras
That may work in the Netherlands, but in Cyprus where the standard of driving is pretty low, but the tendency to speed is common, bends in the road planted densely with trees could increase the number of fatal road accidents.

Re: What a glorious morning
Beautiful morning here in Chloraka. The dust haze has gone and the mountains standout against the blue sky! Sun feels pleasantly warm. Best of all have turned the irrigation off in the garden!

Re: Interesting article in CM today....people living here should read
Yes,very interesting. It really would benefit all parties if a comprehensive settlement was reached.
But experience of Cypriot politics here in the last 20+years makes me feel sceptical.

Re: The wet stuff

Yes, it was cheap but a-bit scruffy... hopefully the refurb won't take all winter.

Re: Paphos Beaches During A Storm
Actually, even with the old Roman wall which is mainly submerged near the harbour, it is still unsafe to leave the boats which are normally moored there when a storm threatens. Hence most boat owners remove their boats elsewhere... The small sea wall around the harbour, once extended the length of t...

Re: Paphos Seafront Storms - The Article

Although most of the few people who post on here regularly seem to agree with you.. From what you have written recently...

Re: Paphos Seafront Storms - The Article
Yes, it was the previous Mayor. I was hoping that as our present one has done so much to change the whole sea front area, he might have had a low wall rebuilt while the major upgrade was in progress. But it seems that wasn't in his list of priorities.

Re: Paphos Seafront Storms - The Article
Nice photos, Dominic.Thanks. I and a number of others echo your thoughts about the sea wall. As you say! Where thesea wall still exists, it does help to avoid the mess of sea weed, sand, stones etc which makes such a mess of the sea front in the rest of the harbour. A Cypriot who I know thinks the G...

Re: Paphos agrees contract for new bicycle rental network
It's good idea might appeal to some young tourists, but it's pretty much the end of the summer season. It will be a brave person who will hire a push bike in winter, and with variable weather. Not to mention the volume of traffic on many often narrow roads in the town.. Also some drivers are lets sa...

Re: Paphos Harbour Walkway To Chloraka - Part 4
Yes, an excellent video. But I think that I'll wait until the path right to Chloraka is finished... as Dominic said earlier in a previous video some of the unfinished rocky parts look quite challenging!

Re: Thunder, Lightning and rain
Weather still wild atop the steep hill in Chloraka... The sea state looks rough with plenty of white capped waves, specially in the seas around the King Evalthon Hotel. Now cloud is gradually replacing the blue sky and sunshine and it feels as if winter is now approaching with the drop in temperatur...
