hi folks, what i'm gonna do in this offseason time?
to blog about VACATION WITHOUT BASKETBALL.
(try to spell v.w.b.!)
beautiful sea.
uneven shore.
wealthy history.
glorious nature.
splendid hotels.
gorgeous girls.
hot sun.
superb sea-bathing.
romantic sceneries.
excellent food.
delicious wines.
what more you can desire...
welcome to the island of love, to the island of aphrodite, to the
island of cypresses, welcome to cyprus!
(i've got a feeling now like i'm some idiot writing about traveling for
some silly female mag!)
the people there are hospitable and they've their well-known vital
optimism.
cyprus takes its name from "kypros", the greek word for copper and the
island occupies a strategic position in the eastern part of the
mediterranean sea.
today cyprus is deeply divided island - the southern part forms the
'republic of cyprus' proper, this is where most of the people live,
(since 1982) the northern part consist of self ruling area calling
itself the 'turkish republic of northern cyprus'.
that's because in 1974 turkey invaded and occupied the northern part of
the island and expelled the greek cypriots living there.
today there's a buffer zone between the two regions.
of course, the south is a more developed part of the island and is very
popular as a holiday destination.
the symbol of cyprus are baths of aphrodite.
(BATHS OF APHRODITE
aphrodite, godness of love and
beauty, used to bathe in the
small pool of this natural grotto
non potable water
please do not swim
and do not climb on the trees)
cyprus is undoubtebly one of the most interesting islands in the
mediterranean sea.
by its position it creates the crossroads between asia, europe and
africa.
and i'm gonna spend my holidays there!
our (myself, denisa, valdes & marianna) destination is seasiode resort
'ayia napa' (it's in the south-east part of cyprus, near this town is
demarcation line between south & north).
we'll be there from july 6 to july 17, in the ***** (it means five
stars, not some swear word) hotel called 'adams beach'.
do you want to know about the temps there?
temperature of air - 33°C, temperature of water - 26°C!
the hotel is situated directly near a delightful beach with
crystal-clean water and fine white sand, called 'nissi beach'.
it has this name due to a small island which is on its horizon and
which you can comfortably reach even on foot along a pleasant, shallow
sea.
so, this is unofficially an ultimate end of the 2005-06 nba season.
i'm looking forward to world championships in japan, nba europe live
and nba 2006-07 (and to upgraded galaxie sport broadcasting) .
but now, enjoy this summer, my next blog will come in the foreseeable
future (maybe by the time in september).
NBA RULEZ!
god bless san antonio!
