To The Erosion
So, why were remains put in that church, and where did they come from? If you look around the surrounding countryside, it doesn't look like there are any telltale tombs or caves nearby. Perhaps they came from further afield? I can't help wondering why whoever left them bothered though. Presumably the remains were left in a church because of the spiritual connotations. But if you feel that strongly about your dead ancestors, surely the best thing to do is leave the remains alone in the first place?

Kathikas is that way.
Another question that springs to mind, is when does it become OK to excavate a grave? The British Museum has it's Mummies, and museums the world over have remains of ancient tribespeople. How long does a body have to be buried before it ceases being a body and becomes an acceptable museum exhibit?
Far easier, to stick to geology. So let's take a look at the landscape.
This is a bigger "site" than the one mentioned on page 1. Incidentally, the gallery is now up and running. I will be adding some pictures of this landscape to it later on today. So if you want to see some larger images, take a peek there.

I don't know why, but I can sit and look at landscapes like this all day. I apologise if it is boring though.
Natural Sculptures
I love the curves you can see here.

As 2016 draws to a close we decided to take a final trip to the Akamas. We have been trying to locate some interesting fossils we saw a few years ago, and the last couple of times we had tried we had ended up somewhere else. We found the right route this time though.Good Pages To Visit

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.
