Limassol was covered in graffiti - mostly AEL and APPOLLON and expletives about the Police - I do hope Larnaca isn't going to end up the same.
I used to be intrigued to see graffiti in Greek but with just the swear words in English! Don't they have Greek equivalents for Barstewards and the F and C words?
Will be going out for a nice meal tonight so we are now officially dossing about now the sun is going down.
Tonight we are celebrating 47th birthday of Bayrak.............
