Cyprus 1983

 

Back in 1983 my wife & I went on Honeymoon to Paphos in Cyprus, not my first choice (I wanted to go to the Canary Isles) but I let my wife choose. We both wished we had never gone to Cyprus after. I took a few photos while I was there and here is a few of the town. I doubt it looks like this now.

This is one of the hotels nearby

If you carried on along the road on the right you would have come to our hotel

 

The seafront

 

Paphos Tavern, very busy here

 

And this place was positively buzzing, you can see why we wished we never went there.

This is Paphos as it was then. I will show what was behind me next week. 

The main reason we never went back when it was nicer was because we were picked up by a local farmer who gave use a lift back to town and asked us back for a drink, we said we could not go because were did not have long left there but the guy kept hanging around begging us to go back with him we just hid of kept out the way. On our last night we saw him drive past where were were eating looking for us, we ducked down out the way and went straight back to the hotel after keeping an eye out for him. We knew he wanted to see us some tat so no way were we going with him. We got away safely but the who experience put us off, the place and hotel has changed a lot since then but it was never a place we wanted to return to.

Take Care.
