The Thunderstorm and the Tombs of the Kings

By Sophia

On Wednesday we came to Aphrodite Hills. We were nearly there but then when we were looking for the house the thunder storm came!!!! There was lightning and thunder and it was raining. We couldn't find the house so Dad went up and tried to open one that we thought it was but it was the wrong one! Yiayia rang Uncle Daymon and he said that we had the wrong house number! So we found the house.








On Monday we went to the Tomb of the Kings which is a place where they buried rich and important people in the olden days. It was around the 3rd century BC.

Aphrodite's Baths

By Ella
Yesterday we went to Aphrodite's Baths.
On the way suddenly a thunder storm came with thunder, lightning, and rain. When we got there we weren't sure if we should still go but it started to clear up so we decided to go. The storm was even worse than the ones in New Zealand and we were really surprised to have it. It was the first rain we have had since we left.

It was really interesting because I am studying Aphrodite.

The baths of Aphrodite is a little pool where Aphrodite bathed.

On the way back from lunch we went to the service station and got jumper leads and Dad and Kleo fixed the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agia Napa Waterpark

By Sophia, Luca, Jay and Ella


In Agia Napa we went to the water park!!!!!!!! We went with Dad, Nick, Maria, Dom and US!
We had been talking about going since we came to Cyprus and we were all really excited.

When we got there we went into a normal pool and had a swim then we went on the water slides. First we went on one with four lanes and we had to go down on a mat and we had races. Next we went to two slides and one was open and you had to go down on a ring and the other one was a normal closed up one. We went on them a few times. After that we had lunch.

Then we went on these awesome water slides that were pitch black. Next we all went on the lazy river but it went really slow.Then we all got together and went to the wave pool. After that the kids went on this really big bouncy sphere that had water all over it which was really fun!!!!!

Nick, Dom, Dad, Jay and Luca went on these reeeeaaaallllly big water slides that looked really freaky!!!! They were so awesome and we went really fast. We started off really high!!!!!!! We went so fast our lips were shaking while we were coming down! We went back on the ones we liked again. Then we went home.
