Polychromatic experience – Waterfalls – 13 Oct.

The experience of the colours of the rainbow in the sky is ordinary. The view of the colours of the rainbow coming from the waterfall at Platres was on 13 Oct. a sight to relish, among all Strollers. Verses from the ‘What a Wonderful World’ song by Louis Armstrong came to our lips: “The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, are also on the faces, of people going by; I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”, they’re really saying, I love you”. It turned out that on the day this club was polychromatic, in more ways than the usual of hosting many nationalities. Compliments to Gunnar for his leadership and Nicos for the photos. Missed this one? There’s another 10 outings coming up. Join us on 19 Oct, here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/prodromos-zoumi-stavroulia-19-oct/

The distinctive and inimitable character of The Cyprus Strollers drew a very large gathering of diners in Kakopetria on 2 June, for the Club’s celebration of 10 years of weekly activities in Cyprus society.

Compliments to Sonia, Nicoletta, Anna, Maria and Petros for the photos.

Sunrays that sapped our energy – Platania 2 June

The sun had covered the entire sky, not one brushstroke of cloud, and temperatures approaching 30 C, created the frame of our ultimate hike of the Club’s 20th season on 2 June at Platania. We took a taste of climate deterioration, and adapted by taking frequent short stops at every tree shade. Participating Stollers were marvelous in completing the hike without complaining. Thank you all! Present were members from all age groups, from a record 15 nationalities and 3 continents. Compliments to Nicoletta, Anna, Maria and Petros for the photos.

Familial spirit – Atalanti 25 May

Compliments to Martin for leading the activity, and to Victor, Maria and Anna for the photos. Join us next for the celebration of the Club’s 10 years on the ultimate hike of this season https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platania-agios-nicolaos-10-years-celebration-2-june/

Dreamlike Landscape – Platys 11 May

A wonderful blend of Strollers hiked on 11 May; in a thick forest along the banks of a river; in optimal cloudy weather; with spirited conversations around lunch, and contributions from frequent members as well as newcomers. That was a day that stands out in every participant’s weekly routine. That was a day that brought out the best of each one. This is the unparalleled character of the Cyprus Strollers.
