LUNCH AT RIMI IN THE OLD TOWN OF NICOSIA ETC

Yesterday our plan (we are in Nicosia, Cyprus) was to rent a car and go round the island but due to the election today there were no cars available, all had been rented to foreign journalist etc...Instead we walked around the Old Town and went across the border to the Turkish side, A lot more run down and "eastern" but we had a lovely chat and a couple of beer just across the border and met a fellow brit, Justin, who told us all about the north!
A minaret tower on the north and occupied side of Nicosia.
We had a late lunch at Rimi (again, www.rimihotel.com) with a fresh Cypriotic salad, lamb chops and tsatsiki! We got to know the owner and he treated us to the drinks and we got to know a lot about business and politics in Cyprus. A lovely afternoon.
