The journey back home

The final day. We have to leave the hotel at five thirty in the morning to catch our plane in Larnaka. The roads are free of snow and before Larnaka we have time to stop at the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, situated on the westerly shore of a salt lake, hidden between palm trees. It is an important islamic place of pilgrimage, because Umm Haram, supposed to be an aunt of the prophet Mohammed, is buried here. This picture is scanned from a postcard.

With a bit of melancholy we bid farewell to Cyprus. Time has gone by too soon. Elisabeth is lucky again, with a window-seat and before long we find ourselves high above a heavy layer of clouds. Time flies as well and after a few hours we are back in Holland, a few hours by train and then we are back home, so far away from the place where we started this morning.

Everybody who is planning to visit Cyprus: enjoy it, it really is a fantastic country with friendly people, beautiful sceneries, coastlines and many interesting places to visit and admire. See you next time.
