My Cyprus Adventure


Kalispera/Afternoon Bellas!
On the 18th July I headed to Manchester airport with so much excitement but little did I know that it would be one of the longest nightmares ever. After being boarded on the plane we got told it had broke down and the breaks were not working on the aircraft and that it could take up to 2 hours to repair. (baring in mind my next connecting flight was in the next 2 hours in Germany). Once arrived in Germany with frustration we got told that we had to be reconnected to go to France!?.. Why France?. Not only was we flown over to Paris.. we had to wait another 5 hours to board the next plane to Larnaca. At this point Both me and my dad were exhausted, frustrated. We then boarded Aegean airways who were very attentive all throughout the flight with unlimited alcohol, and really nice flight food as well as entertainment.

 Thank God we arrived in Larnaca! At 10:30 pm we went to collect are cases ready to get home and just sleep! to only find out our cases went missing and were still stuck in Paris. We had a Christening the next day as well. We were living a nightmare. Once we put a claim in and got home, it was nice to be in the comfort of my own bed and get my head down.
 Following morning we went to my favourite place in the world, the Greek Bakery! full of freshly baked traditional pastries. Mmm.. Later on in the afternoon we had my cousins baby's christening which was in the heart of Cyprus (Protaras) overlooking the deep sea. And we later then went to a Beautiful presented marquee in the village! that served the traditional souvla and bouzouki! I cant possibly tell you what I did each day as I did so much, that everyday was different.
 We spent most of the days sitting on the white sandy beaches of Ayia Napa, swimming in the exotic crystal clear sea whilst sunbathing beneath the Cypriot sun!. Honestly it was just beautiful. Most nights we visited a new restaurant each evening whether it was in the main tourist attraction Ayia Napa or in the villages where we had the traditional Cypriot meze which was a mix of starters including home made soda bread, Greek dips and village salad followed by a mix of meats such as pork, chicken cooked on the BBQ and one traditional homemade favourite moussaka. (Trust me.. i could never eat it all)
 Its so sad to be back in England, when most of the family are over in Cyprus. Its such a beautiful place to be, The food, Freedom, People, Beaches... I could go on.

 My next stop is to Mexico! ill make sure to keep you updated whilst im over there and create videos of both under water and around the complex i am staying at.
                                                     
                                                         Speak Soon Amigos! x

  1. Such a shame you had an awful flight, I had the same recently and emailed the airline I flew with, if you're delayed over 2 hours you will get compensation, it's the law now! They gave me 115 pound towards my next holiday, so get on it! They won't contact you, you've got to do it which is a bit cheeky as so many people don't know about it! Xx
