My word, Cyprus is beautiful ....



Oh good. Now you can see my village and my ex-fig plantation which is now a football pitch. Look between the Kato and Pano Anglisides. Have fun with google earth. :lol:

Deniz was it you who gave her the coordinates for Lurucina?

Get Real! ... Ssshhh! ... I've managed to get a Turk to help me!


Just as well the EU hadn't heeded your calls to exterminate them all then isn't it?

Haven't got Google Earth? Luddite.

Perhaps you can educate yourself a little about what Cyprus LOOKS LIKE these days now you do have it.

I'm going to play around with it on my son's computer when he's gone to bed.

Who knows ... we could end up being neighbours! :wink:

BTW ... are you near any quarries?

We did drive through your village, last year, and couldn't believe the amount of almond blossom. It really is a stunning village. But I want rural, rural, rural ... and above all ... rural! (Read isolated/secluded)

The nearest quarries are the now defunct Asbestos mines at Amiantos about 10k away

I gave co-ordinates yes :lol: :lol: Lurucina? No.

Your mate Paphitis should check it out before he attempts to nuke 'Lurucina'.

Ehud Barak would not be happy with him at all :wink: :wink:

They are foresting that up, aren't they? Did it deter you from buying? Was it something you considered? Cyprus seems to have a lot of mines/quarries when you start to Google! :?

I don't mind too much, if it keeps people away ... but hubby is thinking long term (damn) :D
