Jane has a dental appointment in Famagusta, so we tag along. Looking at maybe spending a few days there before we leave Cyprus, enjoying living in the old city and J getting some dental work done. Dentist sends J for x-ray and blocks him some time in late March. X-ray at local clinic. Charge 60: Turkish lira (€15, $20.55 CAD). And done with no appointment and no wait. We do a bit of looking for a place to stay. The old problem in North Cyprus. Most costs are lower, but not accommodation. Visit a lovely guest house; clean, pretty, and very welcoming. We're given coffee and pastry in the garden. Also look at a hotel, which is not as sparkly but would be fine. J bargains to have breakfast included. So there are possibilities. Lunch outside at a restaurant we've been to before. This time, as I'm not visiting the dentist, I have the very nice curry and a local beer without fear of exhaling same in the dental chair. Super weather.
"Police booked 3,220 drivers for speeding in one week between January 9 and 15, it was announced on Monday," says the Cyprus Mail. Hard to believe that they found that many non-residents to charge and harder to believe that they would have charged that many residents. Ah, but were they charged or only warned?
