Today (Sunday) I decided to grasp the nettle and rented a car for the day. I was joined by another Australian woman from Brisbane, Cate Morriss, and we explored old Famagusta. It's amazing the feedom one gets from having a car. Saw the most wodnerful ruins, wandered around, stopped frequently fro drinks and snacks and all up had a perfect day.

ReplyDeleteWe have mostly been having perfect weather in Paris apart from the weekend which was cold, grey and miserable - why is it that it seems weekdays are beautiful and weekends are miserable??
