Gorilla Gal's visit

Postby GorillaGal » Wed Nov 28, 2007 1:51 pm

the official announcment: i will be in CY from Dec. 18 (arrival in the evening) until Dec. 26. I am staying in Larnaca. as many of you know, i am coming (mostly) to visit my GC friend, and he has first dibs on me. however, he turns into a pumpkin at 7pm, and i am sure there will be some days i can't see him anyway. i would love to meet any of you during my visit. i am collecting contact info and trying to make plans.
please PM me if you would like to get together for a drink or a meal..... for the most part, i will be on my own, and would welcome the company.

also, if anyone can help, since i have a background in pets, i thought i would volunteer some of my services in pet shelters. i know Larnarca has one (argos?) and have tried contacting them, but they have not returned my corrospondance. i am coming with a suitcase full of pet toys and treats. i hope i can also get to JuneMichael's place, but that is closer to Limosal i think, and i am not sure how i will get there and back. i am a little hesitant with driving someplace i have never been....on the side of the road i am uncomfortable with. :wink: any suggestions? i MAY have Christmas day totally available to volunteer with the pets.

THANKS!
GG

Another option

There is also a bus company that operates four buses a day between Larnaca and Limassol. It costs three pounds and takes an hour and a half.

Hang on you are spending a total of 8 days in Cyprus and you brought a suitcase full of pet paraphenallia?...

Mate no offence stay home... :lol:

Why not spend every minute seeing, exploring Cyprus?...You only got 8 days...

Plan your trip...the internet should help you with tours etc...and probably book on line anyway...

Anyway good luck and have a great time...

boomerang,
just because i have a suitcase full of pet stuff doesn't mean i am not going to explore and have fun. but i have alot to offer pets, and i think i can give them a couple of hours of my time. i work in the pet industry here in USA....

Unless you hire a car it'll be a wasted holiday. This isn’t Malta you know!

no holiday is wasted when i can just take some time to sit down! i walk all day. walk, walk walk. i am looking forward to just sitting somewhere. might even sleep late. but i do plan on getting around a bit. there are 2 or 3 people who have agreed to meet me. i hope to get to nicosia and limossal.
