Another Day at Latchi - Another Thunderstorm...

We made a joint decision that we would shoot off to Latchi again today for some beachtime as yesterday's weather had been a little strange.

We packed up early and got down to the beach setting up camp at our favourite spot next to the life guard station which provides John with some shade.  We like sitting there as the life guard is quite entertaining.  Today he was joined by a mate who sang very loudly - not to the song being played on the radio mind!!!

During the course of the morning we were very priviledged to witness about 50+ birds of prey which looked like sea eagles flying in from the direction of Turkey.  The life guard said he has never seen anything like it before and it was certainly a sight to behold.

This was shortly followed by the sound of thunder rumbling around the hills once again.  We could see lightening in the distance but fortunately the weather never quite got to us.  The sun was veiled by a thin layer of cloud making it far too easy to sunbathe.  The boys collected lunch from the Caravan again - this time the woman gave them each a free frappe coffee.

All in all it was a great day.  We rounded it off by taking Vix and Trev for a drive along the coast as far as the nursery where we had got our geraniums for our anniversary.  We were in search of a flower which Mum had seen at a garden centre near Paphos.  We are not sure if what she was looking for was the Coxcomb flower (Celosia).

We did a major shop in Paps, Chilly's and the GB shop so that we were well stocked up for the remainder of T&V's holiday.

On returning home there was still thunder rolling around the hills which resulted in some spectacular cloud formations which picked up some interesting colours as the sun began to set.  We stood and watched before getting ready for our evening out.

The clippers were whipped out so that both John and Trev could have a barnet tidy-up before we got spruced up for our big night out at Yiannis in Kathikas.  We had a brilliant evening there - Yiannis goes out of his way to make you feel very special.  Trev and I enjoyed a meze and had to call it a day asking for no more food to be brought to the table.  We all enjoyed the cheesecake and apple cake and fruit at the end of the meal and came home feeling well satisfied.

The rumbling thunder must have cleared the air somewhere as the evenings have been feeling a little warmer and the dew a little less severe.  We are planning the ramble up the Avakas Gorge tomorrow - all four of us - should be a good day with plenty of photo opportunities.
