Riding in Cyprus – Larnaca Fort

The rode runs perilously close to the sea near "Old Town", with not a single barrier to prevent the terminally unco-ordinated from plunging over the edge…!!

There was still so much to see, and I was running out of time…

I had planned to get the first available ferry out of Girne in […]

Riding in Cyprus – Limassol to Larnaca…

South Africa needs a few signs like this one, which are posted every 5 kms on the Cypriot motorways…!! It is unclear how the fine came to be €854 exactly…!! Not surprisingly, there is not a lot of litter on the roads…!!

Here is another one we could use down there, […]
