Larnaca Salt Lake 24th January 2009

Cyprus has been having a very bad drought for the last several years. A seriously bad drought ... we only have running water 3-4 times a week. Rain is a very rare occurrence, even in the winter, so this morning was a very special one. After having enjoyed several cups of tea, listening to my favourite techno and looking outside my window, I decided to make the most of my Saturday morning by going for a drive to the Salt Lake. And who better to go with than my beloved godchild. The little darling not only wasn't phased by the rain but on the contrary she was quite keen to come along and she enjoyed herself immensely.

I took some pictures with my little all-purpose 100 dollar Nikon, wishing I had a better camera to do justice to the glorious scenery, but I was still glad I at least had that. Anyway ... here's some of the pictures I took:

Flamingos at the Salt Lake
