11.04.2016 – THE WAY TO LARNACA

.

AIRPORT IN PYRZOWICE HAS AN IMPROVED, MORE SNIPPY SECURITY CHECK, WHICH MEANS IT COULD TAKE MORE TIME THAN BEFORE FOR PASSENGERS TO GET CHECKED IN. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN PLANNING YOUR TRIP.

TO MY SURPRISE, ON OUR ARRIVAL TO LARNACA AIRPORT, WE WERE MET BY A DUDE FROM A CAR RENTAL COMPANY HOLDING A A4 SIZE PAPER WITH MY NAME WRITTEN ON IT!

WE TOOK OUR RENTAL CAR AND DROVE TO OUR SLEEPING QUARTERS – LARCO HOTEL.

MAYHEM AT THE HOTEL RECEPTION; THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD GET KEYS TO OUR PRE-BOOKED ROOMS IN  UNDER 30 MINUTES. I JUST TOLD THE STAFF THAT WE WERE GOING FOR DINNER TO THE NEARBY RESTAURANT.

A LOCAL TAVERN – VALIA’S SOUVLAKI IS ABOUT 150 METERS AWAY. WE ORDERED FOOD FOR UNDER  € 50 FOR FOUR PEOPLE INCLUDING 2 L OF HOUSE WINE AND WE WERE ABSOLUTELY FULL. OUR PLATES WERE TEAMING WITH CALAMARI, FISH, HALUMI AND A SELECTION OF MEATS; ALL THIS SERVED WITH TONNES OF GREENS AND LOCAL BREAD. A TOTAL FOOD FANTASY. ?★??

RETURNING TO THE HOTEL WE ARE NOW THE ONLY GUESTS IN THE LOBBY. WE GOT OUR ROOMS IN A JIFFY.

BEFORE GOING TO BEDS WE DISCUSS PLANS FOR THE NEXT DAY
