Summing it all up.
 

Even though it was overcast, it was a nice trip.

To the left, Martin's landmark walking to the Internet café and town.

To the right, Martin's Internet café. Wrong entrance. It's around the corner.

Where to eat on the 16th? Let's see. It was closed for food at 2300, but a really lively place for youngsters.. It's called The Pride of Ayia Napa. Martin went there for breakfast on the 17.th.

Monastery  on the way down to the museum where the bus took you to your catamaran.

The Thalassa museum where some of us where picked up.

The harbor from where we were shipped to the catamaran lying at anchor in the bay.

Queuing up for the dingy to take us to the catamaran.

Our boat, The Mediterranean. Nice isn't she?

Our fancy dingy. Some of the ladies didn't like it minute size.

Bye harbor. On route to our catamaran.

Martin on board with his brand new military rucksack.

The bar is just opening. At a price.

Ready for a swim. And it was for some 27 minutes in total, giving Martin a total of 95 min of swim time this day. Not bad.

The UN control post between the Turk and Greek side of the island. Been like this since 1974 when the Turks invaded Cyprus. Bad shit.

The ghost town of Famagusta. The Turks let nobody in there after they looted the city in 1974 onwards.

Martin happy after his swim.

The foredeck between the two hulls are used as a tanning area.

Friends for life bird from Western Norway. Drinks and smokes. Not good.

On the way back, they switched off the engines and sailed. Not a bad idea with some peace and quiet.

The loo on board. Don't open the window or the Mediterranean will drown you.

The view from the toilet seat. Not bad.

Then the sun showed it face. At last, but at this time the clock 1715. A little bit late for a sun tan.

The last view of our catamaran on our way back to shore in the dingy.

The landmark, still there and as we left it.

The trusty bus is there, waiting for us.

The view from the bus out on the harbour.

On route back to the hotel. Nice picturesque street before hitting the main road.  

The next day, May 17, the Norwegian National day, Martin stayed at the hotel and strolled out for a few hours.
