Honeymoon in Cyprus 1

Well hello there gentle reader.

Our Honeymoon got off to a fantastic start and we had not even left Riga. We had access to the business class lounge and guess what free food and free drink. Awesome.

On the plane it got even better with champagne and a lovely chicken salad with blue cheese dressing and desert. We even got blankets and pillows, great service from the airBaltic flight crew. The champagne went to our heads though and we slept most of the way to Cyprus.

The airport in Larnaca was clean and easy to navigate and we found the SIXT car rental place easily enough. A lovely British lady looked after us and we drove away with a brand new Volkswagon Up. I had never even heard of this particular model but it was cute, small, white and very  zippy. Thank you SIXT.

 

We had 8 hours to kill before we could check in at the hotel. So we  decided to drive to the hotel so we could find it later and then took a drive to Voraklini beach to find breakfast. We walked along the beach as the sun was appearing over the horizon and saw that this beach was not that clean and tidy.

 

We drove into Larnaca and found a Costa coffee place and had breakfast there before walking to Larnaca beach which was already filling up with sunbathers. Larnaca beach was much cleaner and the water gently lapped onto the golden sand.

Because our hotel room had its own kitchen we decided to get some shopping and we found Lidl and bought a few necessities. 

 

When we arrived at the hotel the manager told us that we could have checked in at 8.30 if we had arrived then. We were annoyed because they had told us by email the earliest we could check in was 12.

Instead of taking a nap though, considering we had been awake for about 30 hours, we decided to try  out the cool but small pool. The water was relaxing and eased our tired bodies.

We chilled by the pool until it was time to shower and head down to the Lithos Bar for Dinner. I had the Jack Daniels Burger and Lena had the chicken strips. We retired  early to bed after a tiring first honeymoon day and nothing on Earth is going to make me write about what happened after we went to bed.

Come back soon for Honeymoon In Cyprus day 2
