Camping trip

Well, we decided to go on a little camping trip overnighter.  The original plan was to go to Akamas and camp wild there for the night, but to be honest, when we got there we discovered a whole lot of not very much.Lara-pano Sure it’s pretty, especially as there has been quite a lot of rain lately, but frankly there isn’t too much to entertain either adults or children, so  after a good look around the area we decided to press on over the top of the peninsular to Polis.  We found a decent little road going over the top via Ineia and down into the valley the other side.  It would have made for some great views, but for the low cloud, which absorbed the top of the hills completely.  Once into Polis, we decided to abandon the idea of wild camping altogether and instead, headed for the campsite in town.  At only €2.50 per person and €3.40 per tent, it turned out very reasonably indeed.  We set up the tent, had some food and then set off for a walk along the beach path to Latchi and back, before some games on the beach and hide and seek in the campsite.  We turned in very early, about 8pm, just as the light had gone.20090406-polis In the morning we had a look around Polis, which has a very picturesque town square and main street, then we headed off for home.  A pleasant little night out which we all enjoyed.
