First proper drive with the Mrs aboard. When I say Easter in the title, I mean Easter in the UK! Easter here in Cyprus is next weekend.
Started in a Taverna for a good breakfast, great view of the Evrotou Dam.
Then we drove to Latchi on the North Western tip of the island and cut inland to cross over the Akamas National park. We drove over the spine meeting a few 4x4's and ATV's going in the opposite direction. Then drove back down to the coast.
Bimbled along in the direction of Coral Bay but deviated and found a nice and very private beach where we got the chairs out for a cuppa - still stuffed from breakfast
Then on the way home we came to the last beach which is pretty close to civilisation and so a bit busier.
We then turned off the main track and went back up into the hills a little before heading for home. It is so nice and green at the moment, recent rains have kept the greenery. The last image shows an olive grove in two months time everything will be the colour of sand! I mentioned we met a few 4x4's near the end, we also met quite a few small saloons!! They were hire cars and were breaking the terms of their hire contract which stipulates they are NOT to drive off the tarmac! never buy an ex hire car in Cyprus!
"B.F.T." was brilliant and I was surprised at just how comfortable it was off road. After my Samurai, it certainly deserves the Land Cruiser name!
Thanks for looking.
