To kick off our last day in Cyprus, I had my very last cappuccino from the hotel espresso machine. After breakfast, we all headed to the bus which then took us back to Zygi to tour Cyprus’ largest cement factory and hear from Vassiliko Port and VTTV. I had previously seen the cement factory in…

Today was one of our shortest days that began much later than usual at 11am. Rather than waking up early to eat the hotel breakfast, I ate my leftovers from last night’s which were still very good. Instead of my typical cappuccino, I drank a canned caramel latte coffee I bought from the nearby convenience…

Day nine of Cyprus was a great excursion-filled day. We spent the day traveling to the Turkish side of Cyprus. Georgia pointed out the many British and Turkish outposts which I thought were very interesting. Going through the checkpoint into the Turkish side was a little stressful and unlike anything I had encountered before. Hearing…

After a lovely weekend at the beach, it was quite difficult to go back to our typical business meeting days. The day started with our typical breakfast and then a short drive to the University of Nicosia. We began with two presentations given by FML Fleet Management. The second presentation was very informational which helped…

We had a very packed but fun weekend. It began with a surprise tour of the countryside as we drove to Limassol by my favorite tour guide. Our first stop was the Kourion ruins which included a look at an ancient amphitheater and a wealthy house which included the original clay pipes that brought water…

Day five was another long day spent in Cyprus. We began the morning by traveling to Limassol to visit BSM. I found the building of the training facility to be really interesting since they weren’t allowed to touch the walls of the structure but build their own facility on the inside. The models of boats…

Today was my favorite day yet in Cyprus. I really enjoyed traveling to Trodoos. Even the views from the bus as we drove up the mountain were amazing. When initially arriving to the top of the mountain, I was disappointed to be greeted by a landscape that looked like a Pennsylvanian. However, after walking away…

Day three in Cyprus was a great experience. We visited Limassol for the day which included visits to two ports and a castle. To begin the day, we had another early morning starting at 8:00 am which was yet again kickstarted by a cappuccino from the espresso machine. After a long drive to Limassol, we…

Day one in Cyprus was kicked off with a later than usual breakfast at 9:30 am before our first walking tour at 10:00 am. I was suprised to see an espresso machine in the hotel restaurant and was sure to take advantage of the machine and program it to make a cappucino to have with…
