Re: Another walk. Sodap Beach to Chloraka

Great pictures!

It’s a walk we do often. Although we generally go inland after the Kefalos Beach and go to Gustoso for lunch!

Re: PCR tests for all passengers to Cyprus

If I (double vaccinated plus booster) fly to Cyprus next Tuesday and sit next to someone who isn’t vaccinated, will we be treated differently at Paphos airport?

Re: PCR tests for all passengers to Cyprus

Re: I need to establish...am I dead or alive?

If I don’t recognise the number I don’t answer the call

Come to think of it, if I do recognise the number, I will (occasionally) not answer the call 😀

Non Biological Washing Powder/Capsules

Hi

We’ve been looking to buy some non biological washing powder/capsules but can’t find any. Can anybody suggest where we can buy some or is there an alternative that you use?

Many thanks

Walked along the sea front from the Lighthouse Beach to the harbour about 3.00. Windy but a really enjoyable walk

Cheap Mobile Phone

Looking to buy a cheap new mobile phone whilst I’m here in Paphos

Don’t want a smartphone just something that does calls and texts.

Any suggestions as to where I can buy one please. Don’t want to pay more than €30 if possible

Thanks

5G in Paphos

Hi

Having upgraded my iPhone to a 5G model, I was wondering what the 5G coverage is like in the Paphos area. We’re coming out soon and it would be nice to know if/where this is available

Thanks in advance

Working from home

Pre Covid, back in the office I would tell jokes and everyone would fall about laughing.

Now doing meetings for work on Microsoft teams, Zoom and the like, my gags barely raise a smile.

Re: Flight to UK paperwork

Thanks Jackie. It may be that the attitude at the airport check ins here is because they have been told that every detail must be correct. What is even crazier is that if you were vaccinated by the NHS, you didn't need to self isolate on your return to the UK. Whereas if your vaccination was done i...
