Last Day:(

Today was the last day of our trip. I was sad because it was our final day in Cyprus, but honestly I was feeling a little worn out and ready to fly home. This trip has been so amazing, but I am definitely ready to not wake up at 8am. Today we woke up and…

Catching Up On Some Sleep

Today we finally got to sleep in! We did not have a meeting until 12 so the bus was not leaving until 11 am. We graciously slept as long as we could and grabbed a cup of coffee from a nearby cafe in the morning. The coffee here is delicious and there are hundreds of…

Great Beach Day

Today was a very interesting day. In the morning we drove towards famagusta and visited the Ghost Town. This was a town that was bombed in 1974 during Turkeys Invasion.

Our tour guides told us various important aspects to keep their company successful and thriving in their industry. An important aspect that one of the men emphasized was that any job we decide to pursue should be something…

Lots Of Speakers

In the morning, we started our day, again, by enjoying a delicious breakfast. The man in the restaurant is extremely kind and thoughtful every day. The coffee is delicious and I love to have yogurt and fresh jam. After we were full, we got onto the bus and drove for a little bit over an…

Many Walking Tours Later

Today was our first full day in Cyprus. I enjoyed every aspect of our activities and had a lot of fun getting to know the people in our group. To begin, we woke up around 9:00 and begun our day by heading down to the breakfast in the hotel. They had an assortment of food…
