Hello again - this time from an internet cafe in sunny Cyprus!! We left Rome on Sunday morning - up at 6.30am was not good! But, we had our suprise to look forward to so we hopped on the metro, then ran (can you believe it!) to the train where we travelled to the Leonardo de Vinci airport to catch our flight to Athens! We spent 2 hours in various large queues and ended up on the plane! A few hours were passed in Athens airport and another plane journey took us to the island of Cyprus! We were arriving to suprise our friend Emma who is holiday repping for the summer and who has been away for 6 months - however, we hadn't told her that we were coming out here, she only knew of the Italia trip! So some secret e-mails and texts were sent to her boyfriend, Graham (also a rep in Cyprus) and he kindly arranged to pick us up at the airport. Having not seen him for a year, we were worried we might not recognise him, but alas, a figure approached us from the darkness so we assumed it must be Graham so we headed towards the figure, however, luckily, a streetlight revealed his identity and it turned out to be an old, tall Greek man with a rather large grey moustache!!!!!!!! A hasty retreat and we were on the lookout again! We were eventually spotted by the real Graham and a short car journey and we had arrived at Emma's apartment! Fits of laughter in the corridor and trying our best to be quiet, we knocked at her door which was ajar and she shouted come in. We pushed the door open and stood there, Rachel shouted "Suprise" in her much rehearsed way and Karen giggled! Emma re-adjusted her glasses and welcomed us with a friendly "what the hell are you two doing here?!" followed by "I can't believe it!" especially when Graham followed us through the door! We think she was happy to see us!?!?! We spent a couple of hours catching up on the past 6 months and went to bed exhausted and happy not to have to set our alarm for the following morning! We are catching up with Emma in between her welcome meetings! We had a nice lunch yesterday, although Emma received a rather strange call from a guest who's husband had lost his false teeth in the sea and they wanted Emma to help!!!!!!!!!!!!! A nice evening meal was had followed by visiting old haunts in the Ayia Napa square and laughing at the "old days"...we are getting old!! We've had a lovely picnic today on a cliff top that Emma recommended! Had a quick visit to the beach, a dip in the sea and here we are now ready for an evening out with Emma and Graham...! Very hot and very different to Italy! R&K xx
