Chaps and now lasses!

Greetings from the feckin' boiling land of the Cypriots!

Glad Jay has been keeping you all up to date on my behalf!

Yes, eveything made it here safely and we applied for a phone line in the house a week ago and just got it today. That is crappy dial up BTW as broadband (Nothing greater than 1Mb available on the island at the mo!) could take up to a month!

Manyana manyana obviously translates into greek!

I will fill you in on the hysterical goings on at Athens port to get the car to Cyprus in due course but just thought i'd show my face for now!

Car made it fine but I 'spose now is as good a time as any to tell the Ikonio port tale.........

Stayed in the lovely Athens Royal Imperial hotel on 1st Sep (I think it was!) and woke up on 2nd Sep to take car to Ikonio port which is not the main Piraeus port, but the commercial port approx. 15mins away.

Had to get car through customs before 1pm when they close for the day.

Stumbled across the port as SatNav disc ended in Italy (But had been brilliant up to that point!)

Drove to wrong end as we followed sign for 'Car transporting'

Found the 'Customs' warehouse which was the dodgiest looking outfit I have ever seen.

By chance, there was a Cypriot and an Austrian guy looking equally concerned as they both lived in Cyprus and were taking 2 motorbikes by ferry back to Cyprus.

Cypriot guy laughs and says to me 'Find the place ok?'

They Censored off to take their bikes to the cargo ship.

Greek bloke behind the desk says 'Okay, 40euros for custom clearance, here is a piece of paper with your car details on. Take car and give key to guys on theboat'.

This was a ripped off piece of envelope, no receipt, no invoice, nothing!

Saw 'bike guys on our way to, their way back from boat. They said it was the dodgiest set up they'd ever seen. Handed keys over for 2 x £10k bikes and got no invoice, paperwork, receipt.....NOTHING!

We had to do the same. Hand over keys to a £45k RRSport and prey it arrived in Limassol port in 3 days time!

Asked for a receipt and the guy practically ripped my head off!

Thankfully car arrived safe and sound and is now a dirty, dusty disgrace sat on our drive! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Oh dear, not so good, but at least the nightmare is over. Where in Cyprus are you? We usually come over at Easter it would be nice to see an RRSport around instead of the usually pick ups. I bet it gets some admiring looks!

Buying Java could prove to be a very bad idea!

When we arrived in Cyprus, before we moved into our villa we stayed in Thalassa Hotel in Coral Bay.

A wondeful hotel and would thoroughly recommend.

We booked it through Expedia for around £140GBP per night. Definitely worth it! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

We stayed at the Azia, that's a lovely hotel, food really good. We went down to Coral Bay a couple of nights for a meal.

We saw some really nice villas being built while we were there, no such thing as building restrictions over there!!

Nothing like foreign customs processes to set your new life off in the right direction! Glad it got sorted, I imagine you were bricking it for those first three days wondering whether the RRS would turn up at the other end! Shocked

Roll on broadband then mate... get the wife working and then get yourself sat in your rightful place in front of your PC!! Thumbs Up

PS: Caz, meet SuperTrotter - you're both from oop North so should get on like a house on fire - you can talk about whippets and that! Wink
