Last day in Cyprus

We only have 1 more day to take in this country.  On the schedule, I decided a light day of packing, cleaning and maybe venture into Larnaca would be the best choice…which actually worked out well.  Everyone spent the morning trying to figure out where everything was going to fit in the suitcases.  This was the last opportunity to go to the beach, so I took Alex and Brittany over to enjoy one last dip in the Mediterranean…here was my view:

Not bad, right?  They swam for a while, then decided to search for pretty rocks:

They found some pretty ones…and actually gathered quite a bunch:

As we said goodbye to the sea, we went home, took showers and got ready to go to dinner.  Everyone was hungry so we headed in to Larnaca to see what they had to offer.  There were many choices…anything you wanted really…so what did we choose?  More Greek food of course!:

The restaurants are lined up all along the sea boardwalk, so we were hoping it would be good.  Here we are having a little fun:

Then our food arrived.  Mmmm!!  It was just as good as it looks:

Yum!  We finished up our dinner, then needed to walk a little.  We came across this gorgeous church…a couple were actually getting married, though I chose not to take pictures of them:

We left Mom, Dad & Thea at a cafe near here while we went to find this tattoo shop Alex was hoping to go to.  It was down the street, so we get there and  talked to the owner of the shop.  Alex & Brit wanted to get a tattoo each that represented their engagement:

Brit was up first and got it on the side of her foot.  It was the wording ‘Petra tou Romiou’…the place Alex proposed.  That didn’t take long at all.  Alex was up next:

He already had something drawn up for his, so the tattoo artist had something to go by.  It was a simple design and turned out how Alex envisioned:

Brittany’s wording is exactly the same as what you see on Alex’s arm.  It was sweet.  We met back up with the rest of the group and then proceeded to wander the streets for a long time trying to find where we parked the van!:

Seriously…we walked for at least an hour!  Thankfully, we finally found it and headed home.  Time to get some sleep.  Tomorrow starts a long travel day!
