More beach pictures, along with a brief update on the sandcastle situation. Today - two new types of sandcastle: the ball roll (like a marble roll, but for a ball - multiple paths from the top down to the sea) and the floating sandcastle (a first for me too!) on William's swimming board). Although Sophie's behaviour was often that of a typical 2 year old (not surprising really!!) they did get a treat after lunch.
Yesterday we climbed the hill across the road. On the way up we saw some bee hives, and subsequently met the bee keeper (who sold us lunch) and so bought some of the honey from these very hives. I'm pretty excited about that. William asked him whether he wore a scary mask to collect the honey. We explored the hilltop church and cross.
Today the kids and I visited the local museum, which is focused on the sea. There was a glass floored section, atop a shipwreck and sandy seabed (slightly eerie to walk on). Did you know that Cyprus used to have hippos and elephants? Well, we have seen the skeletons and images of the archeological digs to prove it.
