There were such interesting rock formations, such as this at Pissouri Bay:
We also visited the Tombs of the Kings, ancient burial sites of the gentry, although rather foolishly we ended up visiting at midday, and had to abandon the trip within half an hour before we all collapsed with heat exhaustion. Tee hee.
But then here's something a little more stupid! I couldn't go without riding for two weeks, so I booked a lesson for an advanced rider. Now, two years ago in Turkey, I had gone on an advanced trek along the coast, and had worn shorts to do so, as the saddles were almost western style and very comfortable. I presumed Cyprus would be the same. Big Oops.
The saddles rubbed my legs raw in my cropped pants and I was in severe discomfort for a few days. Now I just have two whopping great scabs on the inside of each leg. >.< So, my riding was pants as I couldn't hold a leg position without it biting into my skin. I know there's a million and one things I'm doing wrong in these pics, but ah well. It didn't help when the pony spooked when I was working without stirrups and galloped around uncontrollably for a few minutes, leaving me clinging on with my legs (rubbing them more) and trying to stop him jumping over the 4 foot fences in the arena!!
The things I do for flamin' horses!
We payed a visit to the city of Limassol, which I didn't think much of. It was all very built up and crammed with people, but an experience none the less. Here's me looking out over the coast of Limassol.
We did however spot a pelican having a rest on a speed boat on Lady's Mile Beach, so even in high-rise places, wildlife thrives!
Just a few more...
