Cyprus times - Week in outfits

Actually, I've kind of lied. It's not really a 'week in outfits'. It's kinda more of a 'random assortment of outfits'.

Unforntunately, I've been seriously unorganised and failed to keep track of daily outfits, so I'm not gonna be able to give you a day-by-day look, as some of the days are kinda missing, but I'll try and make this as coherent as possible :3

Day Time

Despite our pug face in the pic, I actually very happy. No really. So squinty - where were my sunnies?
Jack decided to stylishly hook them on his shirt, bold fashion choice, but perhaps not so practical. Anyways, this is me rocking my charity shop top (though who could tell?) and almost cheek offending shorts.  Luckily, they are just long enough to hide my buns. Woop.

Keeping it casual on our first day in Cyprus. The humidity made my hair go loco, so I tended to just tie it up in a bun, like sooo.

I'm totally working the windswept look here. However, there was not even a slight breeze in Cyprus, so I'm not exactly sure how I pulled that one off. Hmm. Wish I had a better picture, but these are my bloomer style river island shorts - perhaps my most comfy shorts ever - and my loose tee. Oh and FYI, my purse got a tan. I don't even ...

Evening Wear

This was our first evening in Cyprus and both Alex and I went for print maxis. This was the dress I was referring too by the way, the one that's way too exotic for Birmingham town :') 

Can you believe this top was £2.99 from a charity shop? Hidden gem or what. We both went for the maxi look on the evenings, 'cause it just felt more elegant :3 Check out Pons' silky crop. I love that colour.

Jack - dressed exactly the same as he does in England

I was totally thinking about doing a feature called what Jack's wearing - but I think it may get slightly boring as he is basically an outfit on repeat :'). He has about a million shirts in almost exactly the same colour and an endless supply of black tees. He's a stubborn one.

Swimwear

This swimsuit is from Kelly Brook's collection at New Look. I'd been on the lookout for a cossie with a little skirt and this one was perfect. 

I love this picture :') And this bikini. This was taken just before we took a little trip out on a pedalo :3

So sorry that I don't have much to show you, but hopefully you'll like what you see anyways ☺

And that's my Cyprus adventure, all neatly wrapped up :D 

Cyprus times - Where to go

In our week in Limmesol, we tried to fit in as much activities as we could, whether they were at the hotel or outside. So if you ever travel to the great land that is Cyprus, here's my little guide of where you check out ☺

Old Town

If you fancy a bit of traditional-ness and a place to get some great souvenirs, you should visit the Old Port town in Limmesol. It's a short bus journey from the hotel. We didn't actually go inside as we got a bit tired after hours of exploring but there's a museum of the castle that you can visit for about 3.50 euros.

There are many traditional looking buildings, cafes and food stores. Also, there is a display of fish photography with information which is pretty cool to look at. We went to a really nice food shop where you could sample the treats on display. 

Cyprus Delight is yummy :D

Jack enjoying the sun 

There was also this amazing fabric shop. I had hoped to take a few metres home, but there were a bit pricey. However, if you've got the money spare, there's many fabric and lace shops that you can get some great stuff from.

The Beach

We visited three beaches while on holiday, but I'm afraid I have a lack of pictures. Was having too much fun, ya see ;)  To get to this particular beach we had to get on a bus which was 1 euro for a ticket, 3 euro for a day ticket. No bad at all, when compared to the crazy prices we get here. This beach is great for sunbathing and paddling in the water.

There is a little beach right by the hotel, where you can hire pedalos, jet-skis, yelloboats and banana boats. We had a great time on our pedalo and Jack even used the slide to jump into the sea :) Alex and I even did a bit of swimming in the sea, as it wasn't too deep and very clear, so I didn't tread on any jellyfish - yay.

Beautiful weather 

Fasouri Waterpark

This is one place I totally recommend you go to. It cost 29 euro for a ticket from our holiday rep and the coach cost 2.50 euro. It is definitely worth it, even if I did skip some of the scarier rides... :3

Our hotel even made us a packed lunch

What was cool about these rides is that you sat inside a rubber ring to go down, so no scraping of the back. Plus, you could go in double and even triple tubes, so we all got to ride together which was great for me, as I'm a massive wimp :3

The Big Orange

So that's my pick of the best places in Limmesol :) Actually there is one more, GUABA, but I'm gonna do a seperate post on that, as I feel it deserves one :3 

Look forward to more holiday posts ..♣

Cyprus times - Atlantica Oasis

Mwah! Greetings from Cyprus ☺

I'm back from Limassol in Cyprus and I've had the most amazing time! Get ready for some serious picture posting, apologies for any envy it causes ;D

As you guys know, this was my first time abroad and I was in the trusted company of my boyfriend Jack and best friend Alex (check her blog here). We chose to stay at the Atlantica Oasis hotel at the Atlantica Gardens apartments. The staff were really friendly (big up Morris) and the rooms were comfortable and clean. I had read some reviews of the gardens that made me anxious as they weren't exactly glowing, but honestly, I have no idea what their problem was.

The Three bears beds :3

 This is the only review you need to listen to if you're going 'cause this is 100% accurate ;)

  I think what sparked the reviews was that people expected to be in the main hotel as it's not obvious when booking. Plus, we were only shown pictures of the main hotels rooms, and they are quite different. Our room had three beds placed close together, flat screen tv (watched E entertainment all the time) with a dressing table, desk, balcony and en suite bathroom complete with shower and bath. A maid cleaned our room each and every day and replaced our towels.

The Gardens pool

The gardens had their own pool as well; a smaller and quieter area with a bar and small round pool. All in all, the hotel had five pools - the gardens, the main pool, the kid's pirate pool, the indoor spa pool and the adult pool. 

Main pool

The dining room

The hotel featured an outdoor cinema, spa and gym, many bars and entertainment of a night time, so there was plenty to do. We must have drunk our weight in Mai Tai specials and Tequila Sunrises - the perks of all inclusive ;) However, one night we ventured out to the amazing beach bar that is Guaba, which I shall be doing a post on shortly .. ☺

Outdoor cinema

Sidecar and Mai Tai special 

Because there's so much I wanna show you guys, I'm gonna split my jolly holiday into separate posts, as I think one big one may be too much for you to handle. No offence intended ;) aha

 Hope you've enjoyed the first installment of my big adventure .. inabit (: .. ♣
