Seriously. We went to Troodos yesterday, the mountains!
Fun Fact: I have been to the highest incorporated city in Cyprus as well as the highest incorporated city in the US in January! Troodos is at about 5,000 feet, with the highest elevation being Mount Olympus at just over 6,000’.
We had a presentation on the geology and ecology of Cyprus to begin, which I found fascinating but most people were bored during. I didn’t learn anything astounding, but it was cool to hear about the different types of plants found here.
Los Photos:
We visited an old hotel that has been abandoned for about 40 years. The hotel was once a place that extremely rich people like kings went to get away.
They then took us to a town to walk around and buy traditional souvenirs. Instead, I decided to go on a little hike by myself and take advantage of the mountain air. This next picture is my view from where I sat for a few minutes.
Proof that I saw snow in Cyprus! Way up in the mountains.
I saw this as a funny little play on words!
Restaurant part of the group ate at- All of the buildings were this gorgeous!
Going green, all the time! Love seeing alternative energy. In fact, our apartment’s water is heated by solar. Which is cool until you remember it’s been cloudy most of the time I’ve been here!
I’m heading off for Lebanese food tonight then going clubbing! Although all this partying has been fun, I’m so ready to have some responsibilities back in my life!
