 Begin with dental appointments. Waiting room has the same four National Geographic magazines as always. Dated 2006, and not precisely the same as, increasingly bits are missing as English readers presumably take home articles to finish reading at leisure. Only here for teeth cleaning, although Xenia, our dentist finds bits of breakage which will need to be repaired eventually. Can see an obvious advantage for female dentists - their hands are smaller, which is better when your mouth is full of fist. 

Then Jane, on her way back from her painting group, picks us up and we head out to Potamoc Creek, collecting Bill who has set out walking to meet us. Temperature about 27 - hotter under the full sun, of course. The creek is actually a bit more than that, although water level and stream width vary a bit with tide and rainfall. It's a picturesque spot south of Agia Napa, where fishing (and the odd pleasure) boats are moored. Rustic docks, sheds, and a couple of restaurants. We eat lunch on the veranda of the larger. More upscale menu than we're expecting - this isn't a little fish and chips joint. It is a fish restaurant, though. Start with mussel and shrimp saganaki. New to us, but Greek dishes with the seafood in a spicy tomato sauce. Made with ouzo, though to be honest we wouldn't have identified it, and with feta cheese melted into it. Delicious. Then the fish: whitebait (Jane), swordfish (Bill), sea bream (J), and sea bass (me). All fresh caught and lovely. Beautiful day.
