Life has been good this past week. We headed to the mountains on Sunday, where Georgie will also be spending a week with his grandparents while mummy and papa get some alone time. We found a gorgeous tavern sitting on a mountaintop complete with a treehouse and really good food. I think it’s called Adventure or something. There’s also a paintball field and ice rink. It’s just outside the village of Kyperounda. 
The next day we went to the beach and stayed there for three days. I’m not kidding. We were at the beach ALL DAY. With the exception of naps and rest, for the most of our little holiday Georgie was covered in sunscreen and sand. Pity I forgot to be so vigilant with myself- I haven’t been sunburnt in years and now I’m heading into my thirties I’m pretty sure signals bad news for my skin. But thankfully, nothing affected us, not even Georgie’s routine being thrown off. My little dude was in a delightful mood and enjoyed everything. From the different types of food he tried for the first time- salmon sashimi and prawn crackers!- to his very first roller coaster ride and carousel ride. And yes, I was the goofy mummy with her iPhone taking pictures and recording videos that I’ll probably never watch because you can’t actually see Georgie. 
Notes: We spent three nights at Capo Bay hotel in Protaras and couldn’t be happier with the service and easy access to a perfect beach. Splendid breakfast buffet and quite kid-friendly. The staff was happy to wash Georgie’s suction plate I took with us everyday- ok, so they weren’t happy but I bet they preferred it to a very messy floor- which I highly recommend you do when going to a restaurant with a wild toddler. Also take a stainless steel water bottle like this one to the beach so drinking water stays cold. You can get Onya water bottles at Tigadoo.
