TRAVELLED WITH MYTRAVEL

OUR HOTEL SUNWING SANDYBAY

In Aya Napa, Cyprus

THE PEOPLE

The group of ca 30 people was great fun!

SNABB-ANNA HERSELF

Complained of my claimed slow speed going up a steep hill, she will forever be called Snabb-Anna.

3 of 4 LEADERS

Big thanks to Lill-Anna, Skägg-Steven-utan-pipskägg, Söta-söta-Veronica and the picture-escaped Mangan! Good job arranging a great vacation for all of us!

LET'S GO TO THE BEACH!

Sitting on our hotel's boule court waiting for the gang to go to the beach..

LILL-ANNA & SKÄGG-STEVEN THEMSELVES

Forced into a serious kungfu-priest greeting :-)

BATHING w BEAUTIES

Söta-söta-Veronica and Lill-Anna. WOW!

FLOATING THXS TO JOHHNY

Wonderful high waves splashed over me, giving me unwanted tastes of the salty fresh water :-)

ME HIDING FROM the SUN

SUN-HIDING FAILED

Had to wear protective clothing a whole day :-(

BEACH BY NISSI BEACH HOTEL

This was my favorite beach, but then I missed the party section of this beach, which apparently was further away from our hotel (walk on the big road, then turn left at the big sign saying "Nissi Beach" is what I should have done to get to the party beach).

FIG TREE BAY BEACH

With Mangan, the master-mind behind the trip. Despite having to endure map-fascists like me, he always met you with a smile and a positive attitude!

GREAT FOR WHEELCHAIRS

BELOW some more pics incl last nights karaoke performance by Peter & the Girlz, PARTY pics + even more culture (!) like bus trip to Troodos mountains incl stops at genuine villages + Boattrip around s.e. Cyprus incl Ghost town Famagusta More texts for the pics might come later if I find the time....


I SING YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELING

After last nights dinner: karaoke! Being inspired by Håkan I found the courage to perform - but I had to have our dancing queens with me on stage. Makes me look better + people can hopefully ignore my terrible mistreatment of this cool song from hip movie Top Gun...

They put a wig on me without my noticing...

BLACK VELVET

Söt-Veronica, Lill-Anna and I then sing Black Velvet together. The Karaoke guy names our group 'Peter and the Girlz'...

OOAH HELA NATTEN!

Despite the audience not understanding Swedish, we DUNSare incl Snabb-Anna herself and Mangan filled the stage singing 'Ooa hela natten' as a last performance treat. Having had some whiskey before, my voice became darker and richer :-)

PAARTY - FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO!

FAUX PARIS

CASTLE -FAVORITE CLUB

Outside the one in zillion clubs - noone opened before 1am, closed 5 am. Take that, red politicians in Stockholm who want to close all bars and clubs 1 am.... AHRRGGGG...

INSIDE CASTLE

BOAT TRIP

started from ayi napa harbour

CLOSE - REAL CLOSE - TO A CAVE WALL

GHOST TOWN

Known as Famagusta, as close as you are allowed. Now a no-mans land guarded by UN troops. A result from the Turk invasion, splitting Cyprus in two - Greekcyprus and Turkcyprus. Famagusta used to be even bigger than Ayi Napa but is since 1974 totally uninhabited - it's ca 100 hotels are plundered and empty. Another result of UNs inability to take action. We need team America World Police more than against Hitler, Milosevic and Saddam! Why not fix Famagusta so we could create a heaven for homeless there?

I HAD FUN int the SUN :-)

THE END

But I'll be back!
