Cyprus continued

The last couple of days have been full of activity! The other day we all went out and hung at our friend's resort pool. After we each lost about 2 gallons of sweat it was then decided that we needed to partake in a water activity. We opted for the inflatable disc that can fit three people and then you get pulled behind a motor boat at top speed as the driver tries to throw you off the disc. It was a pretty wild ride! The worst fall I had was, funny enough, when the guy killed the engine on the boat so Lee (the bride getting married) and I slipped right off the front of the disc face first into the water. Super salty water! But it was all good fun. The three guys we're with played a bit rougher on this thing - like wrestling on disc and trying to throw each other off into the water. Us girls were a bit nicer to each other and figured we would have a hard enough time staying on the tube without adding fighting. After the disc we tried the "banana ride" which is same principle really. The banana is an inflatable tube that looks like, well, a banana. It can fit up to about six people. I think this one was a bit more challenging. The first time everybody got thrown off somebody's knee met my rib. Kind of winded me and I decided that was it for the ol' banana ride for me. Not a fan.
Yesterday we had another day full of activity. Started the day off with taking a dip down at the
birthplace of Aphrodite (Goddess of Love). After having this refreshing dip in the salty sea, we headed off to Aphrodite's Waterpark (no mythology related to this establishment). Pretty average waterpark, honestly. I think Wisconsin Dells water parks have more to offer actually. After the park, we went to a go kart track. Not the classiest of operations but the guy was nice enough. He probably doesn't get very much business we figured and he seemed real happy to see us. We all thought it was funny that any other go kart place you'd go to there would a half hour safety orientation, no open toed shoes etc etc. The safety orientation here pretty much was "Friends. Please drive careful." Oh yeah and we were all wearing flip flops. Perfect footwear for go karting.
So that in a nutshell has been the last few days here in Paphos. Well, in addition to eating, drinking and lying outside. Today is the big wedding that we came here for. So I best be off to prepare for that.
