2 December 2025 Paphos: Picnic and Car Swap

 


We decided that a car for the first week would be very helpful.  With a car we could stock up on food and essentials easily.  In addition we could explore the Paphos area with a car, as the busses here are not plentiful.  When we subtracted the cost of the car shuttle to the house, it made it even smarter.  Now the week is over and faced with being without a vehicle we decided to rent another one.  Luckily the host recommended a family owned rental car company and the cost was half the price!   Bravo on a month of sweet mobility.


Since we were so early, we stopped for a picnic at this "picnic" spot.


It is very spartan


The stonechats like it


A fishing boat is the the driveway next to the picnic spot


First we return the car to Eurocar


Then meet the owner of the new rental car company to get our new "pet" car


The emergency contact information is hanging from the directinal


We took the opportunity to head back to the nearby dam


Great skies and a magpie


The river valley is wide


Not easy to get down to the water level


An old Templars village


Very old


The trails are steep and unforgiving


Time to turn around


Deer tracks in the mud





It has been 3 years and 180 days since we began our Migration
