 The layers of Cyprus. Stop along the shore west of Lapta where our landlord’s family has land - a restaurant, not currently  an active concern, and also a huge garden and a vineyard. Looking up, with the sea behind us, are grape vines, cypress trees and the mountain range.

We have lunch a little farther west at a small family run outdoor restaurant. There are the inevitable cats but also a  number of free range chickens ranging very freely. A source of entertainment when we drop a little food on the paving stones. A cat loses out to a chicken every time. The chickens are quicker but also the cats are wisely wary of sharp beaks.
