Cyprus was amazing! Spent every day down the beach or at least some part of it, mainly in the afternoon. I went diving twice which was brilliant and I really want to take up the course and do it properly!! We went exploring every night to various bars, the Square Bar being our favourite because the bar man was super cool and gave us free drinks, plus Matt "Elvis" Craig was really funny and probably the most likeable welsh man ever (lol!). We ate out for 4 nights and ate in the other 2, the sun was boiling hot but made the beach even nicer! I went snorkelling every day and twice I saw an octopus! I had to wrestle one to get the shell that I brought home! I saw this big shell and then saw two eyes next to it watching me! As I dived down to get it, he put a tentacle around it and wouldn't let go, I ended dragging him out of his little cave, I couldn't stop as I was floating back up without trying and so the octopus admitted defeat and let go. Greedy buggar, what more could he want with it, he'd already emptied it! Fed the fish with bread and they would follow me for half hour afterwards round the reef just incase I dropped anymore. Picked up numerous starfish which no one else seemed to spot :s I wasn't the only one snorkelling and yet as I swam behind a few, I spotted starfish lightly camoflaged and dived down to pick them up. Cute little creatures. I didnt feel too great when seeing them in the souvenirs shop, dried and coloured and sealed in bags with herbs. They looked so much prettier alive.
Can't wait to go home tomorrow, see the parents and my dragons. And then I'm going for dinner with my best mate Jess, don't really know where we're going yet cos neither of us know what we fancy! Aha! Frankies in castly point looks to be the destination.
Anyway!! Can't stay long, have much to catch up on! ^^
