Well, couldn't believe that, we would finish packing in just an hour after the kids went to bed last night. We had to leave our holiday villa by 10 am and our flight back home was around 20:35 in the evening. So, a lot of time to kill.
According to the plan, we drove to Latchi with all our bags packed in the car boot to retrieve BigBro's water beaker from the Latchi Watersports Centre, which we had left behind on Monday. After saying our thanks, we went to the Polis beach. The kids had a good swim in the sea after building sand castles.
Then we had a mouthwatering and earthy lunch at the local family run Karouzis tavern, which was almost about to close down for the afternoon siesta. The kids were kept company by several family cats, who were disappointed (I think) by our disinterest in feeding them. After enjoying a shot of Cypriot coffee we made our way towards the pottery shopping area along the Paphos - Limassol road, a few blocks after the Debenhams roundabout. We wanted to buy some earthen bowls. Next stop before driving to the airport, while the kids were sleeping in the cool air conditioning of the car, was the Papa Antoniou bakery to buy the ever popular Tahini pie, the delicious local pitta bread, some baklava & a whole load of cookies. Why can't they bake the pitta so soft and tasteful back home is still a mystery. Maybe, it's my project to reckon with in the near future.
With our handbags full of the baked goods, we checked in at the Paphos International airport for the return flight, unknown to us that, the sweet syrup from the baklava has already made its way to the rest of the bakery products contained in the same bag. Well, at least, everything and everyone made its way home safely, after a brief hour-long fiasco of one of our checked-in bags being picked up by a Mr Greene at the Stansted airport, it being completely identical to his own bag, excepting the weight. I should remember to tie in a special ribbon in each of our bags for our next trip.
Cyprus still will remain very close to our hearts for a long to come. We have already looked at the plane ticket prices for this time next year (again)! BigBro still misses his 2 stones from the Kissonerga beach that, he had to throw away at the Paphos airport changing room since his jeans' pockets were getting too heavy to carry them back home and LilBro is heard quite often singing "We are going on a Cyprus holiday .."
