Finally relaxing. It’s been a week now.

That’s how long it takes for me to relax. I finally feel like I am on vacation. I woke up very early again and watched some Netflix. Way too many episode of Pact of Silence. I hated my last hotel and everything about it. I had to check out and I just said the hotel wasn’t my cup of tea and left it at that.

Drove to the nearby Tombs of the Kings. No kings here but high officials of the 3rd and 4th centuries BC. Kinda cool but once you’ve seen a couple….

I know, pay attention to the road, driving is a full time job said my Dad

Parked the car and loaded my back pack, got directions and walked to the Holy Cross Catholic Church. It sits on the buffer zone. They solved their problem by keeping the back doors which are on Turkish territory locked, since 1974!

I read somewhere that over 50 nationalities come here to pray! Wow

So then I started walking back towards my hotel. I was just a bit intimidated. I kept my bitch face on and no problems, but I was lost and no internet map. I kind knew what direction so I walked til I found a nice looking restaurant. Table for one. Yes drinks and lunch. Awesome food and nice people and just a few blocks from my hotel. Just happened to be one of the best restaurants in the city. Btw the city is divided North and South and also has two completely different names Lefkosia and Nicosia. The GPS says the streets in Greek, so I have no clue and there very few street signs with the names of the streets on them. The GPS took me very close to the hotel, but not quite. I parked the car and paid for parking and started walking the wrong direction and figured that out pretty quickly and found the hotel. Just one of the challenges of traveling

Great food finally!!
