So, there is more than just a bridge to see here. As well as the buildings, nature throws up plenty of charming sights as well. I love these cosy-looking acorns.

We also found a bamboo forest with a strange ditch in it. However, the bamboo turned out to be the most exciting thing at this location; the ditch soon petered out.

Back at the flood control dam now, it is worth pointing out these dates. When we started blogging, I assumed these were odd codes left by urban explorers. We then learned that they were in fact left by Water Inspectors, checking insect levels in the area. I mention this now because our blogs are now a lot more popular than they were 18 months ago. Each one gets thousands rather than hundreds of views. However, I don't want to repeat the same information over and over too much, as it will get boring for the long-time readers. So if you are new to these blogs, be sure to look through our previous articles. There are nearly 200 now, and there is something for everybody.

You can just about work out some of the houses of Archimandrita on the horizon there.

Well, that was Archimandrita Bridge. As Venetian Bridges go it isn't the best example, though it is fairly unusual in that it is such a minimal construction compared to its bigger neighbours. Given the amount of earthquakes Cyprus has had since the Venetian period, it is a credit to their building ability that it is still standing. It is definitely worth a visit, if you are in a 4x4, or you can hike from the road to Kato Archimandrita. If you are on a week-long holiday then I would concentrate on the justifiably more popular Roudia and Kelefos Bridges. However, if you have time to spare, then pack a picnic and come see.
