Cyprus

I went to Larna in Cyprus with my mom and Jim.
The weather was nice, but Larnaca sucks.
Here are the photos/words that I think sum Larnaca up very well!
Ugly

Dirt Beach (NOTE: not dirty beach, DIRT beach)

Underwhelming
(That's the "Larnaca Aquarium")

I recently invested in a Cypriotic popcorn company...

For some reason, Larnaca has a great reputation with Swedes...
Here was a menu at a restaurant on the beach.
(Svenska is Swedish)

While there I tried to decipher the Greek alphabet...

Before realizing that they drove on the left hand side of the rode...
It was too late, I had already crashed.

There was one cool area in Larnca, it was the Turkish area. Apparently the Turks who own the property left in 74 when Turkey invaded northern Cyprus. Now the property they own in Larnaca is rented out, but they can't rebuild or renovate it so it's all crumbly and falling apart.

Here's us taking a walk in the Turkish quarters.




(Shaving with rase blade!)


This sign seemed to tell me that I should go somewhere besides Larnaca...

Next... Northern Cyrpus! Finally some nicer stuff to look at...

OCTOBUS!! :D :D

Where disgraced athletes drink their coffee

In Bellapais...

Famagusta ruins...

In Famagusta they eat vegetarians, they are grain fed!

Our last night in Cyrpus we ate friend mini crabs.

Bye bye Cyprus, thanks for the tan!
