Larnaca Beach Day

We had a three day weekend for Carnival, the start of Lent.  As most Cypriots are Greek Orthodox, we are a few months behind the Roman calendar.  A friend and I hopped a bus, and took a day trip to check out the port city of Larnaca.  It is a lovely little port city with an old Ottoman castle, and a very old Christian church that housed the remains of St Lazarus.
