My last Cypriot cappuccino this morning :(. I am going to miss the food here so much! From the hotel breakfast to the authentic meals we had as a group, especially the meze. Our final company visit was at Vasiliko Port. We talked with the managing director and operations director. They took us through how…

Same morning routine, earlier day. We had to be prompt this morning because we were crossing the border to the Turkish side of Cyprus today. We picked up Georgia and headed towards the checkpoint.  It was another very informative bus ride as Georgia explained different sites and the history behind where we were going. We…

Another morning, another cappuccino. I should have had another, because I was really feeling tired today at our business meetings. We made major changes to the itinerary today for our business day at the University of Nicosia. When we arrived to the university we met with two ship management companies. First we listened to a…

This weekend was a perfect break from all of the business meetings, but still packed with rich culture and history. The bus ride was different Saturday, as we picked up our tour guide from the tour of the old city. During the bus ride to each site, she gave us a ton of facts about the…

Today was the first day I woke up and didn’t have time to get my morning cappuccino. So each bus ride was a short, refreshing nap. With a later wake up call, our first stop of the day was Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement Maritime Training Center in Limassol. The coolest part here was the ship stimulation…

Today was more challenging for the 7:00 am wake up. Nevertheless I made it downstairs for my breakfast and slugged back my daily cappuccino before getting on the bus for another bus ride. The bus ride today was on small roads and at high elevation. As we were driving to one of the highest mountains…

The start of day three made me think about how I need to get a espresso machine at home, because I am being spoiled each morning. Anyways, day three started early with the same breakfast as every morning. Then we boarded the bus for an hour and a half ride to Limassol, where all the…

Day two started much earlier than day one, but the double shot cappuccino was enough of an incentive to begin the day.  We started the day with a scenic bus ride to our first company visit, Medochemie. You could smell the sea salt in the air as we got closer to Limassol and the Mediterranean…

My first day in Cyprus was so nice! The weather is better than I anticipated with a cool morning and warm day. It was refreshing to open our balcony door to a cool breeze and view of a nice alley. Cappuccinos should always be offered in the morning, because with fruit and a croissant they…
