 Have been to the dentist in North Cyprus many times. In fact that was what led to our delightful Covid lockdown in Famagusta. But seen the inside of a hospital only for dental x-rays. 

This time for antibiotics. The hospital is state not private so charges are minimal. Also state of the art. It’s brand new - barely open a month now. Well equipped and an excellent staff, some of whom speak English.


Fairly large waiting room and notice a cat lounging inside a jacket. Seems odd. Related to allergy query? Then later cat - no longer in jacket - has been joined by another, this time marmalade coloured. Jacket owner disappeared.  Seems front doors frequently open and more than one cat happy to avail itself of the hospitality.
