So many cats - and some castles. But cats were the highlight.
Only Rae could fly off to the stunning island of Cyprus and come back with just photos of cats!. As soon as she landed, Rae was captivated not by the island’s unique charm with its blend of Greek and Turkish influences, but by its adorable feline population.
Forced away from the cats (presumably at gunpoint by her partner), Rae did manage to immerse herself in the incredible heritage, including a visit to the ancient city of Kourion. Perched on a hill above the Mediterranean Sea, the ruins featured the famous amphitheatre and stunning mosaics, beautifully preserved for 21st-century tourists. The view alone was worth the visit, with the sea stretching out endlessly, providing a serene backdrop to the historical site.
The biggest kebab you’ve ever seen!
She also got rather more than just a taste of the culinary delights of the Mediterranean with “the biggest kebab you’ve ever seen!” A veritable feast of grilled lamb, succulent vegetables, and lashings of tzatziki, this meal left all the 3am greasy doners in the UK behind! Every bite was a delightful reminder of Cyprus's rich culinary tradition.
And the cats! So many cats: cats lounging in the sun, cats wandering the streets, cats weaving around her feet… It is a miracle that Rae ever came back to rainy Leicester. The cats of Cyprus, with their independent yet affectionate nature, were the real highlight of her trip, making her Mediterranean adventure truly unforgettable.
