Saturday, December 3/2011

Have a letter to mail but the queue isn't worth it. The place is full of pre-Christmas parcels - maids from the Philippines and Sri Lanka sending off huge boxes or buying money orders.

Coffee outside the Saturday market place with Jane and Bill. Or, rather, not precisely coffee: Jane has a frappé and Bill a juice, while J and I split a large beer. Beer here, as in Paphos, is frequently less expensive than Nescafé, as well as more refreshing. Bill and Jane have signed up for an eight day cruise from Limassol to Sharm El Sheik and J is interested in a side trip, which goes to El Alamein.
