FREE AND EASY:It takes time to get to know a foreign country and its ways, and a holiday there, whrever it might be, is often not enough time to do this. Here are some reflections that might be of interest to tourists in
North Cyprus.
One of the great pleasures of being privlegend of live in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, this achingly beautiful part of the Eastern Medeterranean, is that live can be a joy and a celebration at all times of the year, regardless of the season. Brief spring brings its green and colorful freshness to the coastal meadows, the vast Mesaoria plain and the Mesparmak mountain range alike, high summer more than satisfies the sun-sorshippers upon the baking hot and golden beaches, whilst autmn and winter bring a time of calm and coolness, sometimes a refreshing and very welcome shower of rain and occasionally a stunning son et lumiére at night, or even by day, when a violent storm shimmers , flashes and flares and explodes with reverberating rumbles over this ancient soil. Like many visitors to this little country, my first couple of eccursions here occured about twelve years ago durings a july or August, prompted by the absolutley guaranteed sunny weather, the equally certain prospect of warm and cheerful home from home hospitality with my sister- and brother in- law who had already settled here- and not least because it was the only time of year when a UK schoolteacher could get away for more than three weeks. That was not really so long ago, and it’s hard to credit that even in those days there was barely a single flashy BMW, mercedes or Cherokee Jeep on the road, hardly any new cars in fact. I felt as if ı’d walked into a large showground for classic cars because at every turn there seemed to be an old Ford Anglia, an Austin Cambridge or a Morris Oxford.
