We flew back into the UK early on Sunday morning and two days later I still haven't fully recovered from the exertions of our holiday or the lack of sleep incurred on the flight. I have however been able to sort through nearly a thousand photo's (!) and here is a very small selection of the wonderful history we explored.

Probably not a good idea to wear a black t-shirt!! |
|
Exploring the remains of a Byzantine-era fort in Paphos |
|
4th Century BC coins in the Cyprus Antiquities Museum with the face of Alexander the Great on them |
|
Lead slingshot dating from the Hellenistic period |
|
Bronze Hellenistic Period helmet |
|
Heading into another hole in the ground...lucky I had a torch! |
|
18th Century firearms displayed in the Limassol Castle Museum |
|
The Young Padawan was my trusty sidekick through many dusty adventures exploring the archaeology of the island |
|
Down in the Tombs of the Kings (no actual kings were buried here...just very rich noblemen) |
|
The spectacular amphitheatre of Kourion is not to be missed. |
Now that we are home I have several gaming projects to kick start back into life. Several packs of models arrived while we were away and I have a couple of games planned for the next few weeks. Back to my less than normal life!
Soooooo nice pics Lee!
ReplyDeleteBeen home a week and I'm still editing the mass of photo's I took.

ReplyDeleteThank you. There are several hundred more just showing rubble or "holes in the ground" as my kids call archaeology.
