Dear all, I'm really sorry to have to say it again, but the three "Historical Kyrenia Walks" (and originally I planned only one!) are all FULLY BOOKED. And still the reservations are arriving in my mail Inbox. I've limited the amount of participants to 25 per walk - there are now 81 applicants for the third walk alone! I hope you will understand I just can't manage so many people in the narrow streets of medieval Kyrenia.

However I'll keep my promise and I will organise more walks in December and if necessary in January 2010. Every applicant will receive email with my proposal for participation on a date in December or January (weather permitting).

I realise this may not satisfy everybody but I really don't know how to do it different. Regards, Hans Doeleman

If you are booked for the first Historical Kyrenia Walk (Sunday, November 1), here's a surprise: a free map of Kyrenia (around the year 1300)! You can download the map, my computer remake of Bill Dreghorn's beautiful art work, here: http://is.gd/4Hnth . The map is password protected, but you'll receive the password tomorrow via email.

Hans don't forget you promised me one of the walks next year. Hope you don't get worn out by then.

Bill - message 5 - maybe we could, finally, meet up on one of Hans' walks??? How does next June grab you? Hans - how about arranging one for next June?



Cheers and regards to you both.

RE msg 6, Jeannie: Splendid idea, Jeannie! Let me know when you and Paul (and Bill of course..!) will be here and I'll try to find a date if your stays - hopefully - overlap. I have something very special* in mind and maybe we can make it - for a change - a trip/tour/walk "on invitation only"? Well, we'll work it out! Regards and all of you in this thread: thank you for your kind words! What a relief to read and reply to posts from normal people.

* Found in an old Dutch book (Cornelis de Bruyn, 1683: http://is.gd/4HV8F ) and I wonder if any British man/woman have seen it since De Bruyn. Even Captain (later Lord) H.H. Kitchener omitted it around 1880 on his stunning map of Cyprus..! And no, it's not "the Forgotten Fourth Fortress"...
