Cyprus Holiday Day 3

Day 3 of our holiday was a bit of a down day and we spent the morning up until lunch just messing around in the hotel pool. Joshua and Brandon enjoyed joining in on the water aerobics and then we played some water volleyball. Obviously we the boys both being at school they have become far more sociable and it has been a real pleasure to see them making new friends on holiday and playing in the pool with other children. Today the boys met another lad Joshua's age called James and they were teaching each other snorkeling and diving etc. It makes my life a lot easier when the boys go off playing with their friends and I can concentrate on Holly.

Then riding a bike making as much splashes as possible.

Brandon looking lean and very brown already.
We had settled into a bit of a routine now and after lunch it was back to the water park. To make things a bit more interesting me, Joshua and Brandon played hide-n-seek in the kiddies play area. We were also diving under the lazy river and seeing how far we could stay under water.

In the evening after dinner we took a nice stroll along the main high street with all the shops and restuarants. Brandon is very materialistic and started playing up a bit because he wanted to buy a studded bracelet like his cousin Matt. We also picked up some bargain football kits for the boys.Brandon got a Deco Chelsea kit and Joshua got and Brazil kit, shorts and T-shirt cost just €5 each (so €10 for two football kits!). They may not be this years design but for €5 they are prefect for the boys to wear for football club.

We found this jungle themed restuarant and Brandon wanted his picture taken with the gorilla. Looks a bit of a dodgy picture to me!

A more appropriate picture of Joshua with the gorilla.

Tina is obviously a big bingo fan and it wasn't long before she had the boys hooked as well. Each night after the mini disco we ended up playing a game of bingo. Basically they charged $5 a game and played full house with the winner taking the whole pot. Unfortunately we never managed to win despite playing nearly every night!

Day 4 sees us visit the beautiful Sandy Bay for another beach day.
