Cyprus: pre departure blues part 2

Today was my last chance to go shopping... and to visit the shops in Nicosia in order to bid them farewell (they're ALL closed on Sundays!!).

What's a girl who leaves the following day to do? Shop. Without direction or without looking for anything in particular. Just something I won't find in at home for half the price.

On my "almost-bought" list:

1. Red handbag made of genuine leather...worth CYP 50! No thanks.
2. Beige suede boots...Allan was eyeing it more than I was though :p
3. Green chunky sandals...yes, green! not my typical shoe color, but when I tried them on with my jeans, they worked really well for me. They didnt have it in my size though...and they were on sale!!! *Sob*
4. Brown linen blouse from Zara...think the typical bohemian/hippie ones I wear. But then, they were too pricey I think.
5. Beige handbag from Lab. Saw it weeks back and it was on sale today...but I just wasn't convinced that I should get them. When in doubt, do not buy.

So..I ended up with new pajamas and (drumroll) a brown coat from Zara!!! Wooohooo!! I need to be somewhere cold again soon! :p

Today was also my last chance to have Greek coffee, metrio style. Finally.

Ena Metrio

Come dinner time, we went back to Xefoto where there was authentic Cypriot live music (which we couldnt understand but was pleasant enough to the ear). We stayed at the same table where we were since it was near the fireplace for warmth and Allan's further attempts to capture it on photo.
















Fireplace behind me

I suppose we could have had dinner at a neighboring restaurant that also had a fireplace...but after seeing the sign outside...I had doubts that we'd be able to have our dinner in peace...

Ice cold beer and what??
