Hi there



I'm touring Europe with my wife in a campervan, complete with a set of golf clubs and I'm thinking of playing a round at Korineum this Friday 28th or Saturday 29th. My wife doesn't play and I'd like to play with someone who knows the course. Anybody on here who would like a game on either of these days?



If you'd like to know a bit more about me before committing you can visit our website at http://www.theworldisourlobster.com



If you want to email me my address is catherineandchris@theworldisourlobster.com



(In case you're wondering I used to play off 9 but it's been some months since I last played).



Cheers



Chris

Hi Chris



Think I may have spotted a very smart Camper Van this morning at Korineum, was that you?.

We have a group of players that play on Tue, and Fri mornings, approx time of first tee is 0800hrs.

You are more than welcome to join the Swindle !! meet at the pro shop 0730ish, you will not lose more than 8tl,!!!!!

Bye the way it will take more than a few months away from golf for you to get any sympathy, or reduction on your 9.

Just ask for Derek when you book in at the Pro Shop.



Regards Derek.

Hi Derek,



Yup that'd be us, there's not that many campervans here!



Friday would be great (though the missus will be moaning about the early start as we're over near Salamis). I was hoping for something like a swindle - it sounds just like back home.



I'll see you Friday morning but go easy I've only played half a dozen times in 18 months!!



Cheers and thanks for the invite.

Hi Chris, I enjoyed reading your blog. Best of luck and fun to the both of you.

Ignore the politics of Cyprus and enjoy your time on the island.

I will follow your travels/adventures from now on.

Hi Toot



Thanks for your comments on the blog. My wife writes it so editorial control is limited



Politics is all part of the fun of learning about new places. For obvious reasons we tried to avoid it in Serbia, but found it impossible!



It's been a long, hard slog to get to Cyprus (at one point we thought we'd never make it) but now that we're here, we're really enjoying it.



Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris



Like Tootie, I have just had a look at your blog. I must agree, it is absolutely fantastic and Catherine has a real gift with words - I almost felt as though I was there with you



Your site has gone into my favourites list and I will check in on your progress every now and again.



The very best of luck with your future travels.



Best wishes



Paul

Very much enjoyed visiting your web site and blog and will continue to do so.

So glad to hear that you ventured to the North of the island, versed as being like the mediteranean of the past and where we love to unwind and chill.

My dad was is in Cyprus with the RAF at about the same time as your Uncle. The Eoka campaign was ongoing and dad to this day understands and describes to us why Turkey intervened against the Greek campaign.

That apart and leaving the fighting to the politicians a place to visit perhaps the British Cyprus Memorial in the Old British Cemetery, Kyrenia.

Memorial to some 371 Servicemen who lost there lives during 1955-59 Cyprus Emergency.

Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army and RAF (79).

Continued safe journey and passage ...

Hi Chris/Catherine



I too looked at your website and thoroughly enjoyed 'following you around'. Will continue to follow your blogs. Good luck on your travels in the future and, Chris, enjoy your golf on Friday; an excellent course though could be a little damp as you have brought some UK weather with you!!



Cheers

I did similar back at the end of the 80's early 90's in my swift kontiki. I would of loved the internet back then to record my venture, but unfortunately it was all recorded into big old fashioned diaries and all my photos on the old fashioned reel film! I had the time off my life with many good, bad, scary and happy memories. I will also be following your quest.

Merhaba Chris,



I will be bringing a spare Powkaddy trolley and battery with me for your use should you want it !!.

Should the weather be unkind to us and golf is unlikely do not waste a journey.

I've been browsing this morning enjoying your website and your wonderful travels, what a life !!



Looking forward to meeting up with you 0730hrs,



Derek.

Hi all



First of all many thanks to Derek and the rest of the swindle for the invite to play golf this morning. I really enjoyed it even though I was rubbish! It gives me an excuse to spend my golf budget more often



Secondly thanks to everyone who's shown an interest in our website - over 150 people from this forum have already checked it out, quite amazing, and thanks for the positive comments.



Cypruschill - you will see some of your info included this week, thanks.



Finally, to let you know we've just been interviewed by Cyprus Today, so watch the press!



Thanks to everyone who has made our visit to TRNC so memorable.



Cheers, Chris and Catherine
