Our morning foray a little earlier as it's Wednesday and Cyprus still has the village habit of early closing - usually some time between 1 and 3 pm - on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We stop for a more thorough exploration of the ruins around Ayia Kyriaki. there's ongoing archaeological work and a fairly large area surrounding the ruins is fenced off. The original 4th century basillica was enormous (with seven aisles, many pillars of which are still standing) and there are the adjoining ruins of a 16th century Gothic Franciscan church. A large signboard relates St Paul's progress through Cyprus, coming from Silesia to Salamis, in the Famagusta area, then to Paphos from whence he sailed to Antalya - this all referenced to the book of Acts.
Then a second visit to St Michael's Hospice charity shop. There are tons of books but we restrict ourselves to five paperbacks - current additions to the 120 or so books on the Kobo which are our mainstay. I'm currently reading a Dorothy Sayers on the bookreaderas well as my bedtime reading of Flora Thompson (of Larkrise to Candleford fame) and reading aloud with J the autobiography of Clarence Darrow.
