Trek 8

Beautiful weather today for our trek from Balalan to Kurova turning, a total of 21.5km. We started off by the sea and climbed slowly to a ridge for our lunch, which was another wonderful meal of home-roast ham, cheese, pickles, bread etc, fruit and date and walnut cake (I really must persuade Margaret Chawner and Jan Quayle to give me their recipes!). We saw a good specimen of a bug orchid and lots of other vibrant flowers, some crested larks and a Cyprus wheatear. The walk finished early enough for a few of us to go swimming in the sea when we got back to the hotel. Margaret, Bob and I practised our song for tomorrow evening's entertainment but had to give up as we were laughing too much! Penultimate day tomorrow.
