A different kind of view of an Island in the Med

Every day when I wake up and sit on my balcony and have a cup of tea I look out over Larnaca shore line all the way to Ayia Napa, I can see the town, the old Turkish quarter, St Lazarus Church and palm trees and I think how lucky I am to be living in a warm Mediteran country steeped in culture and history. But unfortunatly when I look down that veiw all to soon disapeers. I can see a static caravan that has been stragically dumped, old containers being used for storage and a pool that you wouldnt let your tropical fish swim in!

Now Mckenzi is a great location, 5 minutes form the airport, 10 minute walk from the town, beaches all along the coastal road, and lots of mini markets should you need to pop out for milk. It is a densly populated area becuase of all its advantages, but there are a few little "niggles' that put me off.

After being out with family on Thursday 21st May I can home to find a giant crane deliving a 30ft static caravan on what soon is to be our new road, incedentially which we have been waiting almost a year for! Apparanty we are waiting for the muncipaliy to come and check the levels, but thats another story. Any way there was a team of 3 people shouting "Ella, Ella" to make sure the caravan was put down safely. A FOR SALE sign was left with the contact number. I took it upon myself to phone the muncipality who I have connections with and asked them to check if the"Caravan company" have permission to sell the Caravan from it new location. When I called and asked to speak to "my contact" I was told they were on the phone and told to call back and then they hung up, the receptionist was civil but he didnt sound like he wanted to be there answering the phone on a Friday morning! I evently spoke to the right person, gave them the details and said they would look in to it. Today, Tuesday the Caravan is still there, however the FOR SALE has has disappeared and Im hoping the caravan to will dissapear, sooner rather than later!!!

My other view as you can see from the pictures is a communial pool. Today I was so annoyed at the state of it, and the mosquitos that were coming from it, I called the developer and demanded that the cover be removed this aftnoon or else........1 hour later the pool company arrived and took the cover off to reveal the green pool. Now its being cleaned and within a couple of days we shall be looking at a nice clean BLUE pool!!!!!
