Fascinating Nicosia, the Last Divided Capital of Europe
We take a day trip to Nicosia and discover some fabulous museums, good food, and lots of history. Plus a UN buffer zone.

Cypriot food, like Greek, is pork-heavy. But delicious! We've sampled a variety of local meat dishes. Here's what we learned.
We catch the liquid part of a Greek Orthodox ceremony for Epiphany, but not in the way you might expect.
We try zivania, the local firewater, and find it similar to how we find the Cypriots: sophisticated but unfussy.
We do a little exploring in our own backyard, and discover centuries' worth of history in Lemesos old town.
We blend cultures like mad, combining southern and Cypriot black-eyed pea dishes to make a new year's day feast!
We take stock, and share our reflections about what the past nine months have been like. There have been highs and really no lows...
We share our travel resolutions for this year: apparently we're going to be a lot less lazy in 2023 than we are now!
Our list of the coolest stuff we've done while travelling; we hope it will inspire you to come up with some lists of your own!
We manage to find food, again, in a whole new country, and fill our shopping carts with Cypriot goodies.
