4 December 2025 Paphos: Walking The Coastal Walkway

 


The sun was out and we decided to take advantage of the nice day and walk along the water.  There was a full moon scheduled for later.   As it turned out that this is our "semi-official" three and a half years on the road (three years and 182 days).  A half a year is 182.5 so I don't know how to work in the half a day.  Add to that the fact that we had a leap year in the mix, have been flitting back and forth across time zones and the math becomes very complex.  What was no complex was the delightful stroll along the edge of Paphos Archeological site.  Normally shy birds were calm behind the perimeter fence and we saw some nice birds, kestrels. and larks.  




A sleepy pelican 


This car seemed inordinately large


Tidal pools


A saw of sorts


The lighthouse that we can see from our apartment


Sharp claws at the top of the picture


They belonged to this Kestrel 


Crested Lark


The lighthouse from a different angle


A BLT, bird like thing, that fooled me.  It is just a rock


Greenfinch


A floating hibiscus flower


Little fish and a big chain


Pick your time, they are both wrong


Upstairs in the hot tup we watched a beautiful sunset unfold


The gradient of colors was spectacular


Are these sunspots?



The lighthouse and the sun


We hoped for a green flash but no dice


Fitting for our 3.5 year anniversary, a full moon


It is the cold moon


Not so cold when you are sitting in a bubbling hot tub


The hills of Paphos


Howwwwoooool!



It has been 3 years and 182 days since we began our Migration
