More Cyprus

 I forgot to mention that we have the option of champagne for breakfast from our buffet each morning. Woo hoo! The first morning we each had a large glass, but to be honest, champagne for breakfast every day isn’t really me. Straight after breakfast we head to the beach, usually arriving by 8.30am ready to dig.

  We took a lovely tour on a boat called the Yellow Submarine, because it has large underwater viewing portholes. We all liked seeing the fish up close. From this boat we went swimming into sea caves. The boat gave us a life bouy which the kids held on to in the deep sea, and this made it easier to tow them about. They liked the adventure of it all. They also liked the big splash that Daddy made as he slid down the slide (attached to the side of the boat) and into the sea.

 We go to the beach 1-3 times every day, and are working our way through the sandcastle repertoire: sandcastles with decorations, with tunnels, in 3D shapes (cylinder, cuboid, 3- and 4-sided pyramids)(William is learning the names for 3D shapes at school), with drizzly towers.

 The monastery in Ayia Napa was free to visit and a small haven of calm and peace. 

 This evening we took a sunset stroll along the clifftop – a lovely view of the Southern Cyprus sky.
