Soothing Cyprus

This morning we quietly docked at the island of Cyprus.  No calls to prayer, no honking horns, no yelling of dock workers.  Hardly even a vibration through the ship as we negotiated into our tiny parking space between another cruise ship and a UN ship - impressive parking!  We are suffering a bit after our day in Egypt - and this port is exactly what we needed.  We are so lucky to live in a 1st world country.  Imagine if the pyramids were in Britian or even Manitoba......
We took the shuttle into town, and have spent the morning wandering the beachfront.  Quiet and calm, nice beach with little cafes dot the walk, and a great park with interesting sculptures - check out the wonderful eggs.
We found a wifi friendly coffee shop and have been busy catching up on various things - Chad his tech news, and me booking our transfers to the airport at the end on the cruise and blogging.
Tonight is semi-formal, so out comes more evening wear - yay!
Tomorrow we are in Rhodes - on our own again, pretty sure there will be churches and ruins to check out.
