Bellapais Monastery

Today I went to Bellapais Monastery with some students and we had a relaxing time exploring the site. It was a stunning day with clear blue sky and warm spring sunshine. It had been a couple of years since I’d been here, and I have to say it was one of my nicest visits and I was happy to have some company and people who wanted to learn about the buildings and their history. Later, we walked up to Lawrence Durrell’s house, christened ‘Bitter Lemons’ house, predictably enough. The best news: I’m feeling much better and the cold is past. Wednesday catching the ferry to Turkey… or at least that’s the plan.
