Start the day with brunch. Scrambled eggs and still warm soda bread. Small ginger cat would be very pleased to join us but we’re not co-operating.
Maggi suggests a drive up to Bellepais Abbey, just the other side of Girne and up the mountainside. Haven’t been there for a few years and the views and ruins are as impressive as ever - and more commercially exploited than ever. Busy with tourists as Easter holidays in some parts of the west coincide with the beginnings of Bayram holidays in others. Charges posted in euros rather than lira (never a good sign). But nice glass of lemonade in the shade as we enjoy the sights.
Stop at Blue Song on the way back for a meal. My first şeftali of the year, while M has a vegetarian pasta dish, B beef stroganoff and J chicken curry - which he brings to requisite heat level by dint of asking for pul bieber (hot Turkish red pepper flakes). We should be too full for dessert but….
Food good at Blue Song but view best.
