Planning something special ?

I think Pharos (or Faros) village next to Pervolia is a good spot to watch the sunrise.
Then try taking the old road through Meneou-Kiti-Zygi towards Lemesos instead of the highway. Its a road 200m from the coast and usually with no traffic at all. It would be a nice road trip.

Sunrise was between 5:30 and 6 am this morning, on the West Coast.

Factor in that it will be a bit earlier on the East Coast, and due to the extra day

Heard the first cicadas today

ZiZZiros?(Cicadas?). They must have gone mad. Are you sure? Global warming has a lot to answer for

I think it may have been tree frogs you heard, its a bit chilly for cicada yet. The tree frogs are around from early spring.

This ''born again 'True Cypriot''', (OrPh) does not know her Cicadas from her Tree Frogs. She has a lot to learn.

We heard the tree frogs whilst walking near The Anassa mid-afternoon.

That was what first alerted us into hyper-listening-out mode.

Later in the evening, under our vine, when it was quite balmy, we heard the cicada in our Myrtle bush.

This morning my friend Maria, told me she sang a welcome to the first swallow.

Envy Deniz, envy.

That green-eyed monster has got you bad ....

Do your neighbours come asking for the leaves from your Myrtle? Mine do, (the old ladies anyway) they dry the leaves and crush them into fine powder which they put in their husbands smelly shoes!!! They also told me that years ago it would be sprinkled into nappies to prevent nappy rash!! Although the berries are edible - I must admit that I never had the aquired taste for them - do you?
