Sue and I spent the last week of April 1997 with friends in Cyprus, based in Paphos and with general sightseeing in mind and so a less than stellar list ensued. A drive up into the Troodos and a day in Nicosia plus outings around Paphos with relaxing, eating etc. I seem to remember a particularly good Indian meal not far from the hotel!!
