Paphos; Sunday, 16 October, 2022

I was woken about 3am by a spectacular thunderstorm that was raging across this part of the island, lightning so bright that it made its way though the pretty good black out curtains and enormous claps of thunder that rumbled around the sky for a good minute or so after the initial bang.

That was then accompanied by the torrential rain which was still going when I woke back up again just after 8.

I headed down to breakfast after a shower to find it even more hectic than the previous day as the seating space had been reduced by half, given nobody wanted to eat their breakfast in the rain, but I managed to grab a table and have something to eat.

I hadn’t originally had much planned for the day, which was good as the heavy rain and thunderstorms continued through the morning, so I just hid in my room until it was time to checkout and then sat in the hotel lobby for the 25 minutes or so before my transfer to the airport arrived
