It was a late breakfast, then on to the shuttle bus to Limassol, Cyprus. Limassol is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and the second largest urban area after Nicosia. Wandering the narrow streets, we did a little bit of exploring and window shopping. Came across a unique fish spa pedicure foot treatment. Different.

It was a leisurely stroll with no destination in mind. Kind of nice after the hectic two-day touring in Israel. Lee bought a Christmas tablecloth.

Ended up in an open-air café and had a beer, or two. Two fellows from the cruise we hadn’t met before were at the next table. Turned out they were from Regina. We toasted Rider Pride and their win at the Grey Cup earlier in the month.

Rode back to the ship in the early afternoon. Spent the rest of the day relaxing with feet up, cocktail in hand and catching up on notes.

Dinner was back at table 19 with our regular crew, Weda, Prio and Yvonne our wine steward. Cards after and a little casino time. Then, off to bed at midnight.
