The move back from the first floor to the fourth has pros and cons. Pro, can actually see the Mediterranean. Con, the water, while usually hot enough, has pretty feeble pressure. [Translator’s note: Cyprus, like all European countries including the UK, considers the first floor to be the one above the ground floor, or even (as in our case) the one above the mezzanine, so our fourth floor would in Canada be considered the sixth floor.] We have a shower as part of our bathtub arrangement. Rumour (via Maggi), though, has it that only showers are in future going to be allowed in hotel accommodation. No more bathtubs, apparently for hygienic reasons. Suppose they may have a minor point, but can think of many other things they might consider first. This is a country where you can’t flush toilet paper, for heaven’s sake. And how are hotel guests expected to bathe small children?
