From Akamas we went on into the Paphos forest. I’ve never had been on winding roads like this before. It was a labyrinth.

Serpentine and I enjoyed some beautiful hikes through nature and ended up at this crazy mother-ship-like monument called Troni (see it on Google Maps). I had never seen something like this. It was super impressive and was glowing in the night.

Every evening we were reading on this NASA website about the planets of our solar system. It was super fun as well and there are some crazy facts about it. My favorite is that Pluto has, in relation to its mass, the biggest moon called Charon (read about it on nasa.gov). And Uranus is a hell of a crazy planet: its rotation is very different and so it kind of “rolls” around the sun.

One of my best friends from Germany came visiting me on Cyprus and we had a wonderful time. Before Serpentine arrived, I had already visited a lot of Cyprus and of course I had to show her Akamas.

From the first moment on I felt super happy for being with someone I really knew. It just felt good, somehow stabilizing and of course we had a lot of fun. It felt as if we hadn’t seen each other in months.

We did some hiking, went swimming, chilled, enjoyed nature and freedom and collected a whole lot of sea salt directly from the rocks.
