We went to Cyprus in the Autumn of 2005: Vero's got left some 60.000 Lufthansa air miles from her time with Motorola and after lengthy deliberations we decided on two tickets to Cyprus. Never been there before, and the island fits smugly with the Middle Eastern trip, from Cairo to Istanbul, we did in spring 2005: even more crusader castles, painted churches and mosques.

The crusader castle of St Hilarion in Northern Cyprus was an impressive sight.Not to talk about the two mountain ranges and those long, sandy beaches (we're neither of us from the Beach Brigade, though: a swim or two, a few minutes drying in the sun and that's it - our typical beach visit is all over in less than two hours).

We had brought our tent with us and spent all our nights (except in Nicosia) camping wild somewhere on beaches, in the mountains or even next to ruins or monasteries. It was quite a unique experience.

Check out the mails we sent from there: the English as well as the French stuff.
