It was really neat that my family was able to spend so much time with the kids and really were able to get to know them. Which can also mean some time of hardship and that they've got a good taste of little miss strong will. I really treasure the time we had together and know that a vacation in this constellation will most likely not happen again. Now knowing how expensive food in the supermarkets is in Cyprus I think that we would have been better of in a hotel but we had a nice apartment and it worked well. Needless to see that with two old people and two babies there is minimum relaxation but to be at the beach everyday and to see the much needed sunlight every single day was great. The island itself is not the prettiest or I should say it could be much prettier if locals would not have spoiled it with terrible looking buildings but the beach and the color of the water was amazing and second to none in Europe. I don't even want to write about our horrible experience on our return date and that our flight was cancelled but after all it did not ruin the very nice time we had together.
Other tourists were mainly from Scandinavia, Russia and Great Britain. On Sunday I was able to go to an English speaking Scandinavian church close to the apartment and experienced a service among people from all over the world (mainly great Britain but also india and Scandinavia) which was great and I had to think about what it will be like when one day all of god's people will worship him together.

These pics are so pretty!! Sounds like a wonderful time with your family. I can't believe you got your grandparents to fly there w/ you! I bet the kids loved the sand and water! I'm excited for Seth to finally go to a beach/ocean for the first time in June! (now that he's almost 4 =)) Take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan, I am so glad they did! It was a lot for them but really worth it. Can't believe my Granddad had his open heart surgery not to long ago. Praise GOD!
ReplyDeleteOH and Seth will love it!!! I know our kids are spoilt with vacations. and so are we.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost better for you know because it will be so great to see them experience that.
