A statute of Aphrodite that a friend sent to me.
I spent 3 night sin Cyprus November of 2001 with colleagues of mine after the World Travel Market concluded in London’s Excel Center. Cyprus is located North-East of the Mediterranean Sea neighbouring Syria and Turkey. It seat sat the cross roads of the continents of Africa, Asia and Europe. It has long been a myth that Cyprus was the birth place of Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty: I would not dispute this fact if I were you until you actually visit Cyprus. I fell in love with this place and promised myself that I would return to visit it when I had more time on my hands. The few days I spent there were like being in Eden (not that I know but the description Eden seems to befit Cyprus).
Cyprus has the history of Civilization itself to boost of and the ways of the ancients,.
When I visited, the cold weather had set in and the rains poured as if to cleanse the land. The days were shorter it seemed and we tried to get as much done while the day light showed and roamed the night until we were tired. The club scene in Cyprus is actually amazing, if you like dancing, partying or hitting the clubs this is a place that you will feel welcome at. One club stood out when I was there – Limasool (can’t remember the pronunciation) but it is one place to check out when you are there. Outside the club the lights shimmer across the sea with such powerful reflections/ mirage like. I do not have photos from Cyprus since my visit there was unscheduled and more spontaneous. But the memories of Cyprus are those that remind me of a promise to go back, the views of the sea and the green of the island quite simply amazing. I have promised to visit South America in 2009 so I will plan for Cyprus next year, but if a window opens up for Cyprus, I will be more than glad to take it.
