Blasting through Larnaka, Cyprus

Thanks to the super-cheap fares on Jazeera Airways, we were able to make a quick getaway to Larnaka, Cyprus. We had planned on staying there for almost three days, but a Larnaka airport renovation (which the airline neglected to inform its passengers about) meant that our flight was delayed by about eight hours, so we arrived quite a bit later than we'd hoped. The same renovation meant that our flight was delayed going back to Kuwait also, so we arrived back in Kuwait after the school day had started--fortunately we both had preps in the morning so no harm done.

But despite the whirlwind, we enjoyed spending a day on the beach next to our hotel (see pic) and wandering around old Larnaka before flying out. We'd like to go back someday and get away from Larnaka, as we hear the island is quite stunning when you get away from the city. Next time, eh?
