Walks, waterfalls & weather

23.02.26

Another lots of stops day.  And over 20,000 steps.  We left the house at 0845 due to the pm rain forecast.

Only 360m walk from the car to Millomeri Waterfall

it is pretty …
not pretty. Shame about the monstrosity being constructed very close by. A great view for a tiny minority.

A short drive to Kaledonia waterfall.  A 3.7km circuit. Climbing up alongside the river.  Then an easy descent along a wide service track.

Some crossings had bridges
Others didn’t


We drove on uphill, with ears popping, to the Artemis Trail. 7.5km circular around the top of a mountain. Easy as less than 50m of ascent. The woods occasionally opened up to reveal amazing views, including the sea. Turning a corner, we entered the black cloud. Then the hail started, followed by light snow. We didn’t even stop for water as it was too cold. -1°C real feal -3°Cc.  Can’t remember the last time we were in sub 0.

500 year black pine
Fab views … whilst we had visibility
The sea is out there
Black cloud coming in
This is as much snow as we want please!
So the hail started and stayed with us

Back at Baby Blue the hire car, we ate with the engine on.


Down the mountain to Omodos, and a balmy 10C.

And to hot chocolate and lava cake … shared

Omodos has a pretty monastery with museums.

An ancient wine press and so many wine tasting bars
EOKA resistance hideout … resistance against British 1955-59.  British culpable of torture, hangings, curfew and imprisonment without trial.
