Boxing day is a British Holiday. Traditionally people boxed up thier leftover food and toys and gave them to their servants and to the poor. This morning my love note to Leslie was "Two boxes boxing in a box on Boxing Day." Back when I was teaching, I left these funny little cartoons and notes for Leslie nearly every morning. I do it less frequently now that we are travelers, but I like to keep this tradition alive. The sun was shining and we decided to walk the last stretch of the coastal walk. We made it to Sandy Beach where the western end of the trail ended. Next we will have to head eastward to see how far the walkway goes in that direction.
The walk began at St. Geouge's Beach
The rocks here are very rugged
A serious fisherman
A tall piece of art
A baot ramp
With a sandpiper
Lots of room for beach goers
A big bronze
No drinking at this bar
The flowers are enjoying the sun too
Several rock breakwaters
The green green grass of the umbrells farm
The people in the sign are quite stylish
But there is no toilet in the tiolet facility!
The path had many different off shoots in this section
A ship shaped lookout
Land of the big items, a chair and a heart
A garden path
Lantana
Lurking in the shadows
Next to the big chair, a tiny church
I had to open the door to make sure it was not a rest room
The biggest of chairs
Another umbrella farm
This rock got my interest, the waves would hit it from both sides
I did not want to get too close to the edge!
Taking the side route along the egde
Bird on a spike
This tall tall flag pole is flying the unifying flag of Cyprus. It was first used in 1950 and it represents a Cyprus that is unified with Greece. This unification is now supported by only a small fraction of the Cyrpiot population
Two flowers blooming on the windy coaqstline
It is the end of the path!
This is what we would call an unimproved track
More lantana
This was the coastal off shoot shown earlier
Silhouette
At first I thought this was a rounded cactus but it is a hedgehog. Unfortunately it is either hibernating out in the open or playing dead in a very convincing way
Waterpark, not currently open
Kestrel, currently hunting
Back to the large piece of art. The top appears to be random pieces of wood but it is actually steel
Next to the pillar is the bronze
This is General Grivas-Dhigenis military leader of the EOKA 1955-1959
A little shrine in front to the resort
Not a huge arch, just big enough for me to fit inside
A cool pool
Another Greek orthodox church
Reflected in the windows
The top of the resort had a Gothic flair
