Studying and sunbathing

Today afternoon I'll go to Coral Bay by bus, since the beaches in Paphos are not sandy.


What to do in Paphos in your spare time

While I'm not on a holiday here in Paphos, I need to wake up earlier than I would like to. We have to take a bus to the course centre at 8.30, since it is a bit far away from our hotel - about 15 minutes' ride. Our lessons start at 9 a.m. and we finish at 2.00 p.m. So, after a bus ride back to our hotel we still have plenty of spare time before going to sleep.
Of course I need to eat, so the first thing after the work day is to find a nice restaurant to have a late lunch. After eating I'm too tired to do anything demanding, so it's a good time to go to the pool and have some sunbathing = read a book in the shade. After a couple of hours and some swimming in the pool, I'm refreshed enough for some sight-seeing by just walking around. Perhaps I find a nice gelateria :)

Starting the course

I arrived in Paphos already at Friday night, so I had almost two whole days for sight-seeing and sunbathing before the course started with a nice meze meal in the Mandra Tavern on Sunday evening.

On Monday morning we had to wake up too early and a warm green bus took us to the course centre at 8.30 a.m. So, we finally started studying Web 2.0 tools. Unfortunately I had lots of problems with the laptop and wasn't really able to do anything before 11 a.m. However, I managed to stay almost calm and finally everything went ok :) We made our own blogs and studied using different tools in blogger.com. Also, we learnt to use prezi.com and made wonderful presentations of our educational systems. I wrote down good instructions, so I should be able to use prezi with my students in the autumn.
