This morning, we left the coast and headed to the city. EMU sent a very nice driver, he was cute, in a Turkish man way, and had a heart tattoo similar to mine. Funny, I tried to talk to him about it. I don't think he spoke any English, but I did manage to get a smile or two from him :) see more pictures here
He dropped us at the crossing, we crossed at the UN BUFFER ZONE; Steve didn't let me take any shots...ha because I wasn't allowed to! You take camera shot-you go get shot at (must read this like you tourist)
It was pretty cool. We sat waiting until Steve realized when he tried to call Mike that we were still in TRNC meaning we had to walk through the green zone.
So, after a few minutes and passport checks we then found the CCMC and they helped us get a car to get to the hotel.
Then we dropped our bags because the room wasn't ready and walked about the city. Pics
After we came back to the hotel; Steve and Mike were discussing the seminar at CCMC and how the room was going to work. That looked good so we walked more and had a very good dinner. It's been hard to fight the sleep so I went and got a coffee; being spoiled to Turkish Coffee already...I asked for Expresso and started talking to Christos~
Christos has been alive ever since the dispute has been around. I showed him this picture
I'm thinking uh oh....
"Everyone likes to blame the Turks. For these [Cyprus] to find peace as soon as [the troops] leave. The Turks must leave.
Me: The Turkish Cypriots?
Chris: The troops. The troops must go, of course not the TC-they can stay this is their land too."
