A Blustery Day At Limni Pier
Long Exposure
While I was making my film, Alex was playing around with her camera. She was trying out some long exposures. She didn't like the results but I did, so I am using a few of them here.
A Familiar View
During rough seas you can still walk to the end if you are careful, or so I thought. The secret is to wait in the dry bits for the wave to pass.
Gates Closed
I didn't go to the end on this occasion, because the gates had been shut. Instead I stood here and got buffeted by very strong winds as I shouted into my action camera.
A Good Soaking
I misjudged my timing at one point and got completely soaked here. It was quite refreshing actually!
Distant Pomos
The route back was pretty uneventful. Bear in mind though, that the end of the pier (the top of the T) has no railing. So if you are thinking of opening the gate and going to end, please think again. The wind was incredibly gusty, and getting blown into the sea would be no laughing matter.
You may think it a silly warning, but people recently had to be airlifted to safety because they tried crossing a river in a car that was flowing too much, and got washed downstream. Some people seem to think they are invincible. They aren't, and have to be saved at the expense of the rest of us.

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.
