Local bus was late. Did not stop at the top of the sculpture park. No time to explore
Since my visit last Friday, barricades across the entrance. I can only assume to stop idiots with off-road bikes and other vehicles.

November 2, 2022Ravioli’s Italian restaurant
October 30, 2022One visit a year is enough. I live in hope in vague hope it may have improved. Or maybe I am a glutton for punishment. At best mediocre.
Last night, the second time this month. More fool me.
My ravioli tonight was not good, tough and chewy.
I am choosy where I sit. If I cannot sit where I wish, I will usually walk out.
No, you cannot sit at the indicated table. Why? It is reserved.
The table sat empty all night. Two, three, four tables became free.
My table was dull and gloomy. I had to get up to find light to read the menu.
Very overpriced for very poor quality ravioli.
I can cook far better ravioli.
Complimentary ice-cream.
When I finished my meal, the nearby table smoking, smoke was blowing over my table.
Last straw. When I paid waitress demanded I left a tip.
Pizza I cannot comment on as I have never tried.
Risotto I have tried in the past. As with the ravioli, I can prepare and cook superior risotto.
The strange thing is Ravioli’s is owned by the hotel on the other side of the road. The hotel serves better pasta.
Spartiatis sea bream
October 28, 2022Public holiday, Spartiatis packed.
Sea bream, sat outside.
When I finish, I move inside. Too cold to sit outside.
Ayia Napa International Sculpture Park
October 28, 2022For the first time on many trips, local bus stopped at the top bus stop, giving me time not to explore but at least to walk through the sculpture park then pick up the InterCity Bus for Larnaca at the bottom entrance.
Konnos Bay attacked whilst swimming
October 18, 2022Swimming Konnos Beach, sharp pain in my leg. Happened a few times. First time I brushed something away from my leg.
When I came out of the water, blood streaming down my leg from whatever had attacked me. What, I have no idea.

Ayia Napa Medieval Festival
October 12, 2022Intercity Bus from Larnaca could not pass through to the main square (where I needed to change to local bus) road closed for Medieval Festival. I decided I would stay for the Medieval Festival.
Procession was quite short. A wander around the Medieval Market, then took my seat for the concert.
First half of the concert was spoilt by idiots standing in the aisle. When people asked them to move, they turned agressive and abusive. Where were the stewards.
I left part way through the second half of the concert.
A wander around the Medieval Market. Free red wine, a bottle of zivania.
It was then to eat, but first a massage.
Ayia Napa Medieval Festival
October 16, 2021The last night of week-long Ayia Napa Medieval Festival. My third night.
Leaving Limassol later than intended, I reached Ayia Napa later than intended, caught last hour of concert.
I sat for about twenty minutes, then wandered around the stalls.
I had no intention of buying anything, I ended up buying a jar of honey, two bottles of pomegranate juice. Each bottle, the size of a coke bottle, the juice of a kilogram of pomegranates. One good for health, but never more than one.
The honey eased the sickness of caffeine poisoning.
Tried local version of jamon serrano. Very tasty.
Soaps tempting but would have contaminated coffee.
I suggested bees wax paper for wrapping. Where to obtain from? I inquired of honey stall. They were not very helpful.
The Medieval stalls were far more interesting than any craft market in England, which tends to be overpriced tat.
I thought I would eat at a restaurant, further up, past the monastery. Too late, closed. A conversation with the owner, a large glass of brandy, invited to return another day.
Ayia Napa International Sculpture Park
October 14, 2020Yesterday, changing from local bus to Intercity Bus en route to Larnaca, I alighted at Ayia Napa International Sculpture Park and wandered through.
I noticed many new additions since my last visit a year ago.
