The best taxi driver ever
I just experienced the best taxi ride ever. He was super excited about life in general, very happy, very positive, gave us beer or Pepsi and called the van his baby. It was a lovely ride (air conditioning!!!) + a free beer + super friendly happy taxi driver = awesome. “I smile all the time…
Paphos Beer Festival
I’ve been seeing advertisements for a beer festival in Paphos. €6 to get in + a pint included. So of course I had to go. They had some nice dancing earlier (teenage girls, a bit embarrassing) and now there is a DJ who is actually pretty good. I’m drinking a Blackthorn Cider which I’m told…
The Sanctuary of Aphrodite
The myth goes that Cyprus was the birthplace of Aphrodite. There was a significant pilgrimage and cult worship complex for millennia near Pafos. So of course a Jackalope has to check that out. I had a few words with the Aphrodite and she gave me some tips for the lady’lopes.

Tombs of the Kings

Uugggghhhh
Cornwallis reporting in… With a terrible hangover I must report. It is our day off on Wednesday so Tuesday night turned a bit… Festive. Someone coined the term "Archaealcoholics" and they weren’t kidding. I don’t know what this was, but it was mean and green and I let AJ go to the Paphos Mosaics without…
