Compliments to Nicos for leading the activity and to Maria, Anna and Petros for the photos.

One ancient legend about beauty, and a second medieval legend about heroics combined to adorn the hike along the coast at Petra tou Romiou on 19 Jan.; adding an element of culture, as it is customary for this club, which delivers Hiking made Pleasant. The high temperatures and sunshine were uncharacteristic for this time of year, adding an element of hardship; so much so that an ice cream at the end of lunch seemed the most appropriate dessert.

Under perfect weather conditions a joyous gathering of Strollers, regular and newcomers in harmony, hiked at Prophitis Elias on 22 December. The meal that followed was a deserved rich treat and conversations were uplifting. Many thanks to Ian who defied a lingering cold to lead the activity! Equally characteristic of the spirit of this club was the presence of Monika and Davidas, in Cyprus for just 1 week, who chose to spend their precious time with us; because Monika had experienced our hospitality years ago, as an Erasmus student! Compliments also to Petros, Anna and Elena for the photos.
