Traffic Jam on the Trail....

So a couple weekends ago Matt and I went on an adventure. We went to the Akamas Peninsula to walk around the Baths of Aphrodite and the "wilderness." The peninsula is the furthermost western point of the island, so we're knocking out some of the "most points" of where we live; Akrotiri is the southernmost point, Akamas is the western point. It was a lovely drive through Paphos and some villages through the hills of Troodos. Our guide books says that this area and the villages near by are becoming some of the best beach spots on the island so we're going to have to plan some beach days once the weather heats up.
The Baths of Aphrodite is where Aphrodite was bathing and had met her lover Adonis. Once upon a time people used to bath here to restore their youth but you can't do that any longer-bummer, I need to look younger ;) It was an easy little stroll to the grotto-there were lots of people out that day. Than we walked in the hillside and almost got lost and had to turn around because the sun was getting ready to set-we will have to return to finish the hike and really explore more.
After the hike we went into the village near by called Polis for dinner. We had a great meal at this pub-Matt had a small grill with the best sheftalia we've had yet! Yum! I had a grilled fish stuffed with spinach and feta cheese-super yum!! We drove home in the dark but thoroughly enjoyed the time together.

It's like the sign is saying "Aphrodite could help you get beautiful but we won't let you"

Matt's thinking about going for a dip-he's pretty enough and gets plenty of love ;)

Aphrodite picked a good spot to bath! Looks so refreshing!

Beautiful view of the shore and villages

An even better view with this handsome man!

Rednecks aren't just in Southern Maryland

So this was the traffic on the trail!! There were goats everywhere!! They had bells around their necks so we could hear the tinkle of the bells all around us as we hiked.

Just an FYI in case you didn't know about things blowing up

Cool old boat in the village of Polis. I wonder how long it's been there.
