Famagusta

It’s definitely NOT ‘grim’ up north!  A day trip to Famagusta included a quick stop in to see Stu and Caroline and their 6 month old baby boy ‘Finley’  What a happy soul he seemed to be.  After a cup of tea and some lovely cake in Florentine’s cake shop, we set of through the ‘Black Knight’ crossing into town.  A look around the beautiful old town with it’s Venetian walls and then down to Varosha in the ‘Forbidden Zone’.  Here we explored the lovely sandy beach area and played with starfish, crabs and all sorts.  Elena was very pleased with a particular shell and was set to take it home, until it’s inhabitant (a fairly large Hermit crab) had other ideas and started to ‘leg it back to the sea.We had a wonderful time and a nice meal at a little restaurant called Gingko in the main street near the cathedral.  All in all a lovely day and one which I am sure we will be repeating before too much longer!
