It's mostly pics anyway so I might as well continue.
The last day we visited the 'Tombs of the Kings' or at least of the rich Paphos elites. Fantastic. It had been both a necropolis and a quarry for a bunch of folks through the ages up to the Mediaeval. The studies had tied it to Macedonian burial practices, so right back to Alexander & Co. but it had been reused right up to mediaeval again, the latter as housing!

Note the sunshine. We then played 6 holes at Pebble Beach golf course - on one of those virtual systems. It was great though we were rubbish. I did get one 297m drive though. By the time we got back to the hotel we had been locked out of our room and it was raining. The cleaner let us in to grab our bags but then we had to sit for 4 hours waiting for the bus. Then it was wait wait wait all the way home. At least not as bad as the Edinburgh flight that had a 5 hour delay! Bed by 1:00 am then up again for work. Yay.
So there you go folks. That was Cyprus. That was 2012. Have a nice Christmas/New Year.
