LH809

Upgraded to business class for my morning flight down to Frankfurt, I am reading up on the conflicted history of Cyprus and its “Green Line” as Sweden fades away below. Though reviews of the new Tasting Heimat regional food concept have been mixed, to say the least, I thought the “Hamburg” option was perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, some snow fell overnight in Hessen, so we had to wait on the ground at Arlanda for more than an hour before receiving a new landing slot for Frankfurt. I can only hope that I will still make my connection to Larnaca.

Once on the ground in Cyprus, the plan is to pick up a rental car at Avis for some good old driving on the left –  something I got to practise in Ireland back in September. According to Google Maps, the drive to Paphos is 132 km and is expected to take 1 hour and 22 minutes, which seems a bit optimistic. Anyhow, I will then pick up my bib at the Expo before crashing into bed, ready to catch the bus to the starting line at 6 a.m. local time tomorrow morning.
