So.... this is the difference between a holiday in Villa Rockheart and our stays in the villa :) Yesterday we had to run off and spend the morning doing admin things..... Today, we had to do housework and clean ready for new guests arriving tomorrow night. I have a large store of bed linen and towels so first of all a complete bed change, towel change, bathmats etc. When I'm here I can wash the towels in the washing machine. Bed linen goes off to the laundry. Not because I couldn't wash and dry it, but because I draw the line at the ironing :) Everyone likes nice crisp ironed bedding but it's a pain to do. There are lots of laundries here who do a much better job of it than me so...... Then vacuumed and mopped through. Bob emptied the bins, swept the terraces, tidied the loungers and pool toys. Rick, the pool guy came up and did his Tuesday clean and treat. It was hot so we had a lot of breaks in between all of this. And swims. And reads.... but by about 4 everything was ship shape.
Our nice man from Gunray car rentals came up and dropped us off the letter we need to take the hire car over the border tomorrow. We have to buy a special insurance at the border and this letter is necessary. It gives us permission basically. The insurance will be good for a month so we will have a few trips south to make it worthwhile.
Downloaded more from BBC and ITV tonight and watched on the tv. Great to be able to keep up to date. Can't get Sky programmes. To get SKY in Cyprus you need a 1.8m dish and frankly I draw the line..... Houses that have them look like Jodrell Bank.
So tomorrow we are driving south across the border and will visit ancient Kourion and have a day around Limassol before picking Mick and Maureen up at Larnaca in the evening.
