I opted for the hilly route and I got it today, I sweated out over 1400m of climb today but it was worth it for the views. The highest point was 1850m, a record for this trip. The weather was perfect for cycling, sunny with a cool breeze. I take 80 photos today.......but my camera does not do the scenery justice.
I'm 3 day's riding away from the ferry port at Tasucu.........the plan is to get on the first available ferry to Cyprus and spent what remaining time I have cycling out to the north-eastern tip of Cyprus (the panhandle) and then back to Larnaca via Famagusta (or whatever the Turks call it now).

| The original buildings are very pleasing on the eye compared to the modern concrete boxes, but nearly all are falling into ruin. I wouldn't want to be in one in an earthquake though. |

| Six hours in the saddle, 5 hours pedaling uphill.........slowly. |
