Aaand it is August. It's true what they say, when you are having fun, time flies much faster. Except for Greek lessons. No matter how hard you try not to look at the watch, it's always just one minute more than it was when you looked like ten minutes ago. But do not get us wrong, we like our Greek lessons. Some of us may even aspire to be professional Greeks.
Truth is that we spend a lot of our time in the lovely company of Greek language. Not only in the school, but when we come home we just quickly cook something so we can finally do our homework. That takes us about two hours and after the all day with Greek you just cannot say goodbye that easily so we turn on the TV and we watch some series or movies, just to motivate ourselves that maybe one day we will understand what they are talking about.
But when the weekend comes obviously we want to have some time without Greek. So naturally we hang out with our Cypriot friends. Last weekend our mentors took us to Pafos. Finally. We heard so much about it and now we can confirm that it is about 95% true. No matter what you heard about it, it's true.
We were in Petra Tou Romiou, Akamas, Latsi and Polis. Everything was so beautiful. When we were at one of the beaches in Pafos we had the opportunity to board a small boat owned by a nice couple from California. They have spent about 4 months on that boat, just enjoying life and travelling around the world. At least something to look forward to when we retire.
Perfect view, isn't it.
And we walked just for fifty years to swim in the sea down there. Still it was about another five hundred years to get to the place where our cars were parked. We started our journey back, but cars were passing by and that inspired us to just stop one. So we tried. And a car stopped. We saved about one million years, which is the approximate time that it would take us to get there by walking (it doubles when you are really tired). The ride was interesting too. There was a cliff and the road was quite narrow and there were cars going the other way. But we survived. Some of us then had the best sandwich ever, and some of us had quite a good burger.
We would like to mention that all the hiking parts were only Sotiris' ideas, but we are not mad at him at all. He tried his best to kill us but he only made us stronger. And we cannot forget to say that Giorgos knows where all the best sandwiches, food, coffee and ice cream are! But we want to thank both of them for taking such a good care of us and helping us to discover another part of this island.
Oh and speaking about ice cream, almost forgot. Ladies and gentleman, we truly tasted the best ice cream ever.
And one day we will tell you where.

Actually, the main idea for the weekend was camping. It was just for one night, be we still had a good time and we will definitely be back to explore all of the camping possibilities that Cyprus has to offer.
But the biggest fun came on Sunday. First, we had breakfast under a 170 year old tree. The energy of the tree was enormous. Like it knew what is waiting for us... We started with a bath in the Aphrodita baths. And then the walk started. We walked for ages and we still weren't there. We walked for a hundred years and we were bit closer. Then we stopped for one minute to refresh ourselves and then we walked for another thousand years. We saw lots of goats. And then we saw this.
