EXERCISING





The stroll is over, I return to the suite and what I really need is a glass of cold water and another shower . I plan to get to the Health and Fitness Club which is free to residents after some calls and there is plenty of time to exercise before dinner.

Before I go, I have to see if I can find some friend or relative to join me this evening and dine with me. I start from my Sister, a couple of cousins, an Aunt, very close friends….somebody to come and join me. Alas! Nobody seems to be available unfortunately and dinning alone when I travel is something I hate. I guess if you were around you would be happy to join me isn't it?

Anyway, I am disappointed but I won't let this spoil my night. I have the way to have friends around and I am confident I will have some friendly people around this evening. I guess it won’t be that bad or at least I won’t allow it.

I am off to the Fitness Club and for an hour I swim before going to the steam room. Swimming relaxes me so much and it is my second best activity . The other one is walking as many of you already know. Two years back I remember myself swimming daily for 4 hours continuously without getting out of the water even for a minute. I would get to the beach at 7:00 - 11:00 a.m. Last year I had time for only 2 hours a day, and this year I guess it will be much harder and I don’t think I would exceed the hour and thirty minutes.

In the meantime, I have received an email from an unknown friend who comes from Australia, and has been reading my entries on TravelPod for quite some time. I only found about it today. Now she is in Paphos and asks me if we can meet. Mary thinks that since I am from Larnaca she will find me there but I answer back and tell her that I will be traveling for the next 2 weeks and only return to Larnaca the very last day only hours before take off. She replies that they have already booked 4 nights in Larnaca and here in the Fitness Club as I swim I try to think of a way of how we could make this possible. I have to come up with a plan soon and I truly want to meet the couple. The hotels are already booked and people are expecting me.

To make story short I made some changes on the next two hotels that I am supposed to go and we have arranged that they come and meet me up in Platres on their way to Larnaca.

So this is it….We are indeed going to meet in the coming days. There is a saying that says –Where there is a will there is a way.
I can’t wait to meet my new friends.
