Day Trip To Troodos

So although I am studying on an island in the Mediterranean, there is a mountain peak in Cyprus called the Troodos Mountains, which actually contains snow. Now for me I could care less, since the last six weeks before my departure was torturous enough. But for my Californian friends who never even encounter that “fluffy white stuff” it was an extra throw in.

But what really caught my attention was the village we went to next to the mountains. As the bus pulled up and I stepped outside to this beautiful landscape of bright orange rooftops and houses up in the hills, it felt like the real deal and was a real image anyone could appreciate.

Now of course this was an old school town and certainly could not entertain a youthful age group for more than two days, however it was so quaint and lovely. Walking up to this huge beautiful hotel all made in stone and walking down the narrow cobble stone paths was just awesome. From the little old woman selling jelly jars to the waterfalls flowing through the town, I felt as if I had set foot into a movie. Overall I definitely appreciated leaving the busy city and going out to see how the locals live!
