Thursday at Yiallos


It is exceptionally hot here in Cyprus at the moment.  The weather conditions are causing some strange happenings here - yesterday there was a massive hail storm in the Troodos causing a white over.  Today we could see low cloud sitting in the valley between us and Polis.  This could just be humidity down near the coast.


We had been due to meet up with Mina and Claire for lunch at Yiallos but they have visitors so it has been postponed so Di and Rob, John and I decided we would go anyway - having the morning to do jobs and then setting off for a late lunch/early tea.  Don't know how Diana manages it but she always manages to have her eyes shut for a photo!!!


I plumped for the Yiallos Chicken Caesar salad which is absolutely divine.  The food there is good and not overly priced and the setting is fabulous.  It is a great place to go mid week when it is not so busy and whilst we were dining we noticed that Lakis (owner) was catching 40 winks in a chair - I took a photograph and jokingly threatened to post it on social media but as we like the place I wouldn't do that.  I could have sat there for hours but the team voted for ice-cream at Waves so we made our way there.


The ice-cream is made locally in Prodromi and is lush and today they had a new flavour - cinnamon which is a favourite of mine although I don't think I have ever had it in an ice-cream!!  It, combined with a dollop of vanilla, in a cone was fab-u-lous!!!  We really are lucky to have all this on our doorstep even though we are all guilty of not taking advantage unless we have visitors.


We ended our time down on the coast with a walk around the harbour but boy was it hot with all that concrete so we didn't actually venture too far.  We returned home trying to find the church in a cave Saint Ambelis which I have tried to find before and failed and today was no exception!!!  We ended up going through some fabulous countryside but did a loop ending up on the road opposite John and Susan's - will just have to try again another time!!!

A lovely day all round - ain't we lucky!!!
