Spot some fairly attractive offers in a travel agency window. Maria, the only employee in, is about to go for lunch but stops to talk to us, and is not only pleasant but remarkably quick about picking up what we are looking for - which is basically a cheap but interesting visa run before mid-February. Cairo is possible, or Rome. She'll check more prices and call.
Jane and Bill get serious with the menu before the taverna fills up
Dinner at Vlachos with Jane and Bill, Ailsa and Harry. First visit this year and always a pleasure. Best part is we're treated like Cypriots, welcome friends to be well fed. Very good food and lots of meze style starter dishes. I have moussaka and J lamb kleftiko. Actually mine alone would have done both of us. As usual, A&H have brought little plastic bags for leftovers for their numerous pets, six dogs plus cats. A Noah's ark of rescued animals. And, as with all Cypriot restaurants, there's no hurry - a meal is an occasion.
