We took a stroll around the Armenian District in the morning after disembarking from our cruise ship in the port of Beirut. In the afternoon, we took in the DownTown (Star Square) area of Beirut, which is much more upmarket and modern after the rebuild.

I loved this bit of street art or graffiti and decided to capture it as I was passing.
Taken near the sculpture park at Molos area on Limassol seafront. Nearer to the old town rather than the main tourist hotels.

Taken at the Apollonia Hotel today (28 December). We were visiting the hotel as one of our friends is out here on holiday. A gorgeous day with 21c degrees and wall to wall sunshine but with some really big seas with very little wind. Strange, but true!

The pink splodges in the middle of the salt lake are the flamingo's that come to pay us a visit every winter.

I think this is a ficus tree but look at the trunk and what they've done with it!

My hubby managed to catch a couple of photographs yesterday as I was leaving the house for work.
We woke up to a very breezy day and a red/yellowish smog moving slowly up our street.
Think mother nature sent a massive dust cloud to us over the whole of Cyprus. Later in the day, it rained quite...
