Departed Manchester Airport at 9am and arrived in Cyprus at 3:45pm. We stayed in cyprus for a week and visited Lemesos Castle, Aphrodites Rock, Nicosia (pictured above) and many more places. During the holiday we hired out a little jeep for a couple of days which we nicknamed 'The little tank'.
Departed Cyprus at 5:15pm and arrived back in Manchester at 8:25pm.
WE HIRED OUT TWO TANDOM BIKES FOR A WEEKEND.
OVER THE WEEKEND WE RODE FROM IRONBRIDGE IN SHROPSHIRE TO ELLESMERE AND THEN BACK AGAIN.
ON THE LEAD BIKE WAS MY DAD AND SISTER AND ON THE SECOND WAS MY MUM AND ME.

We picked the bikes up from Ironbridge at 9am and began our journey towards Ellesmere. We soon got used to cycling together and apart from some scary nine point turns from my Mum we were right on track. Halfway into the journey under my Dads directions we took at left here and a right there and somehow ended up lost. After a long consultation with the map we got back on course and eventually arrived at the B&B exhausted and a couple of hours behind schedule. During our first day we had cycled fifty miles, fifteen more than we expected.

Feeling a little bit sore from our extended cycle the previous day we got back on the bikes and begun our journey back. With my Mum just about in control of our tandem I decided to take it easy and put my feet up! With no wrong turns we made it back to base completing a respectable thirty five miles.

We drove down to Devon to pick up the campervan and started the long drive down to Landsend. The windscreen wipers were working at top speed to cope with the torrential rain. This combined with a very limited maximum speed we arrived at the campsite after a 5 hour drive.

Tired from the drive we checked into the campsite and moved towards our plot when the campervan broke down.

We stayed in Playa Blanca next to the beach for our one week holiday. To see the sites we hired out bikes for a day and went on coach trips. A highlight of the holiday was a camel ride.
