Early morning start to Nicosia where we need an extension to our visa, basically (short version) because the border staff give 30 or 60 days and our rental is for more than 60 days. Doğan has made the arrangements and drives us up. Lovely sunny day. Congested traffic in the Girne area but that will change once the road widening is finished. Still more developed than when we first came to this part of the island twenty-two years ago.
Midday when we get back and the ever busy Doğan has appointments gathering at the office. S, J and I to lunch at the Blue Song in Lapta overlooking the sea. It’s a windy day and there are white caps but the sun is on the water and the sea shifting shades of blue and green. Unable to resist şeftali while J has chicken curry and S a salmon pasta. The view alone would have been worth it but the food is good.
