Mike and Inga. We signed up to the club while in the UK but never got approved until 6 or 7 weeks later as the club is managed by volunteers. We were able to recognise Mike as he had an All Black rugby jersey on and he could recognise John in his Bay of Plenty shirt.
The hospitality club is a online group. People offer you accommodation, conversation, coffee or advise or what ever they want to. In return you offer whatever you can.
Mike is a Brit and Inga is German. They were wonderful hosts and we were able to chat about all sorts of things. Mike and Inga love motorbikes, rugby and beer. They had been visiting Cyprus for many years and about 6 years ago they bought a house and now live here permanently.
Larnaka is home to Cyprus' largest community of foreigners. The city has a long promenade lined with palm trees and lots of new hotel and apartment buildings. It also has all the top brand shops for those who want to be up with the fashions.
Behind the modern shops are narrow streets and we saw a small workshop where church candles were being made.
We visited the Church of Lazarus. Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus and came to Larnaka where he was a bishop for 30 years. He died here for the second time but although his tomb is under the church his remains are in Marseille.
