Cypriot Rose
Hi I'm Rosanna (a Cyprus rose), so I guess this is "Rosanna's blog in Cyprus". The postings are mainly about my travel to Cyprus and adventures here. They include some light-hearted and amusing stories as well as vague travel information that might be of interest to those visiting Cyprus.

I'll be brief as my blog says more about me. I recently moved to Cyprus to be closer to my ageing and ailing mother. I miss home, family and friends but am grasping with both hands the nettles that are my new adventures here in Cyprus.
