Now to accomplish several things - first, it's still too early to head for Scandinavia as it's still a bit cool and certainly muddy up on the hikes; second, we need to go somewhere our Schengen Visa won't get used up; third, there's Cyprus, it's right there and won't burn that visa time, and we haven't been there before.
So in two flight hops, we arrive in Cyprus...

"Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is geographically a part of West Asia, but its cultural ties and geopolitics are overwhelmingly Southeast European, and they speak Greek. Cyprus is the third-largest and third-most populous island in the Mediterranean. The northeast portion of the island is de facto governed by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus."

After settling in yesterday, today we head out to get a feel for this part of Cyprus ("east end"). Like Turkey, the roads are fairly decent, however, thanks to the impact of the British a hundred years ago, they drive on the "wrong" side of the road for us.
We park the car and do a hike. There's that turquoise water and rocky shoreline.

They provide some handy steps/railing here, if you want to swim out into the surf...
We pass on a swim and continue our coastal hike...
Tim says: "here is the best part of the hike".

Ah there's our "Rent-A-Wreck", just where we left it. We got a good deal, it's a bit beat up though, but it's a Honda, so we think it'll be reliable.
No more hiking today, but we drove to a couple more spots to see the scenery.
