Back to Harry's Café near St Lazarus Church for coffee in the sun. Prefer McDonald's filter coffee, but Harry's Cypriot (=Greek, =Turkish) good, and the nice lady always provides a free - and in our case totally unneeded - bite of something sweet, in this case a small slice of cake. Much nicer atmosphere with outside tables and chairs, but the immediate impetus was the noise, reminiscent of giant dentist's drill, near McD's from the renovations taking place on an old building next door. 

Cyprus Mail reports 80 year old woman killed while walking along the street in the town of Protaras in the morning. She has a fractured skull and police are investigating, which is more than they are doing for a 77 year old friend of Bill and Jane, killed while he was cycling in a village. Driving standards here are shocking, with tailgating especially prevalent.
