Take the alternate walk today to Paphos town, not much farther than the harbour walk, but uphill. The town centre isn't big but it is busy, with locals and tourists. The views of the harbour below are striking and there are some good coffee spots looking down. There's a covered market as well, with fruit and vegetables - elderly women pressing us to sample the oranges and guavas. There are also leather goods, jewellery and souvenirs.
Stop on the way back at a Russian shop (there are enormous numbers of Russians in Cyprus) where we find pepper and aubergine spreads and also at a greengrocer for oranges, grapes and coriander. There's a little charity shop on the road as well, but it's deciding whether to rain, so we head back.
In the lobby we use the earphones with the netbook to listen to the National - the first Canadian news broadcast in two weeks.
