Limassol Part2

 Last time we really talked about television and stuff and nothing about our time there. So without further ado lets do this.

We stayed at Harmony Bay hotel at the edge of Limassol, its a nice place with good access to the beach and a heck of a lot of cats. If you think I'm exaggerating then there is at least 10 around the hotel complex and all are well cared for. There are all varieties of ginger, tabby, black cat if you want luck and of course my favourite the Weedle (black and white.)  

The local supermarket also had a range of cats outside including a tabby sort of like my old cat Zoe. They also had a range of canned coffee which is a favourite of mine. 

The local beach is blackish sand and is quite stony out in the bay, I did see a Sea Hare when I did venture into the water. Was about fist sized and didn't move much.

It seems that Limassol itself is attracting quite the rich crowd, lots of fancy cars and water front apartment complexes which they are calling flats. Which is pretty based, we'd call them apartments. A lot of Indians on scooters doing Deliveroo work and Wolt / Volt food service.

Also you still need masks on buses here. Also pretty frequent service, which can only be commended.

Some photos.

A big thanks to Sigma Bakery for rolls and cakes, Pokka for the canned coffee. A few places with pirate DS games and whatever this is below. It rings a bell, but have no room to take it home with me.

Anybody, This shop had god cartoons as well.

Limassol

 Glad to be back, first real holiday abroad for 3 years and as it's now Monday you'll get a post as I'm past vomiting and that feeling tired. Got in at 7am Sunday, no thanks to the cucks running EasyJet's baggage reclaim.

We'll start with television as its a nice easy segue into the rest of the holiday. Greek TV is still nothing to write home about, a lot of This Morning but Greek style rubbish and a lot of stuff subtitled in Greek but, actually English. Been watching Kris Marshall era Death In Paradise, which isn't bad and there was some weird, shadow black cartoon character show. Oh and an accurate dub of CGI Garfield, one where Jon visits his dad on the farm.

Non Greek stuff is limited to TVirus again, Rossiya and a few hold outs with 7D7 having a QR code permanently onscreen for Ukraine. This is also the place to see the X-Files at 5am, A nice dub of Scully BTW, Mulder they never get right. 

A few weird things that never came on, Italian Fishing TV, some Car channel and Euronews Hungary.

A few things that did come on, but had no sound. Both Fashion TV channels aka Fascism TV aka pointless clothes show.

The Arabic channels were well respected with Bahrain TV, BBC Arabic another waste of your license fee, and Manoto TV which showed stuff like Food Unwrapped and that show Nicola Walker was in for the BBC (Not Unforgotten sadly).

To cap it off there was a Korean TV channel called KBS, which showed piss poor TV Drama, shitty Youtube style pranks and some bastard awful K Pop. 

Finally one of the Russian channels had a version of Kommisar Rex, not the weirdly cucked Canadian version, but some sort of remake.

Oh and if you wanted to know was in English, Bloomberg news, BBC World service, Euronews and Gay porno (France 24 along with its French version).
