I'm a hypocrite...

... putting effort working for an organisation that tries to limit food wasting and then eating in a cypriot tavern where sooo much food stays uneaten. But seems if you don't order too much, it is a shame.

The Marathon of Cyprus

Running is my least favourite sports but still I joined my friends' cyprus.com team to run Marathon of Cyprus in 5K Corporate Race. And despite the fact I hate running I loved the event. We run just along the beach, in sun, the waves were splushing on the rocks, nice music in my ears - a great beginning of the day. And we got third place out of over fourty teams - a guy from our team was first with about 12 minutes time!

Observation nr 1) Cypriot girls from our team  came in FULL MAKE UP to run the marathon. Do they EVER go sote?

Observation nr 2) 4 of the medals  for 20 and 10 km went to Polish guys. Polska górą!!! (42km podium belonged totally to Kenya who run it in 2.5 hours at about 17km/h!!That's my speed on the bicycle!).

Observation nr 3) The weather conditions was a miracle. It had been pouring all night, we woke up it was raining, we went to the meeting point it was raining, during the warm up it was pouring so much that my hair and shoes were soaking wet. Then 8.54, 6 minutes before the  start the sky suddenly cleared and we had beautiful sun for 5 hours :D



Still wet from the rain:
Third place for cyprus.com :)

Pomos village


 Remains of the "Oxi" movement I guess
 Would anyone believe that this deserted hut becomes alive once a year to turn into headquarters of the best jazz festival in Cyprus?

Trivial pursuit

Some people decided to take the most of  the house and to sit out inside every of many euros they paid. So they did not move from the saloni for anything but going to a tavern. The trivial pursuit was on all the time.



Weekend in the most amazing house

For the weekend I stayed in a rented house in Pomos, close to Akamas. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVER! I was speechless at its simplicity, lucidity, luxury and beauty. My jaw dropped lower and lower when I first was showed around and I was happy as a kid to discover the panorama, the pool, the sauna, the jacuzzi... and the view from my bed :D Oh, yes!








View from my bed :D
