Happily lazy start. We're back in the land of endless sunshine and many of our fellow guests are on sun loungers around the pool. We make two forays out, one toward Upper Paphos for bread, with a stop at the greengrocer's for fresh grapefruit and oranges and a lemon, as well as a cauliflower and some carrots. then, in the afternoon, down to Kato (Lower) Paphos to Papantonio's supermarket for the other things.
The waterfront is, as it was last night, curiously unbusy. Not many tourists about, and the prices seem a bit high, although there is some competition over the price of a pint - bottoms at €1.50. There`s also a new feature - an Englishwoman of early retirement age has replaced the local employees and family members soliciting business from the pavement. Very refined as she points out the virtues of the morning tea and scone at €3 (£2.40 or $4 CAD). An interesting comment on both lack of tourist business and financial difficulties
