The warm weather continues and J and I pick up filter coffees from Macdonald's. Sounds a bit pathetic, but their filter coffee is quite good and half (or less) the price of anyone else's in a place where the usual alternative to Cypriot coffee is Nescafé. A character in the novel I'm reading at the moment (The Island) comments wryly that nobody appears to have had the heart to tell Greeks that Nescafé is no longer a desirable novelty. So off with our coffees to the small pier at the end of the beach where we sit and drink them, watching small boats in the distance.
