| There was a strike around that time. We had friends who came through on the 12th and bought us home some duty frees and said all the shops were open. Their flight was 7.30am. |

| Cigs are very cheap at Ercan D.F. Works out at around £1.60 - £1.80 for 20, depending on where you buy them. They are also the 'real thing' unlike those you buy at supermarkets in TRNC. |

| Are fags the really dangerous fake ones in supermarkets? Glad I don't indulge. |
