First time this year that our table of friends has gathered inside instead of out on a Friday afternoon. Sunny but a pretty chill breeze. John and Criegan smoke and usually opt for an outside table although smoking is allowed in restaurants here.
More whitecaps than yesterday, and the ferry from Girne to Taşucu in Türkiye was cancelled today due to rough seas.
The old Kyrenia (Girne) harbour area is an historic site dating back centuries, probably to the Bronze Age. And has emerged as the object of the anger of a number of Greek Cypriots. An association promoting « historical dialogue and research » offered students from both North and South aged thirteen to seventeen trips and workshops of cultural and historical significance. Interestingly, the program is sponsored by Germany, home to the world’s second last divided city. The objection raised was that it included a trip to the North, although the program was voluntary and would not take place during school hours.
