 Famagusta I went today to the north part of Cyprus, which is occupied by Turkey since 1974. Very strange feeling. Living now in Europe where all walls fell, communism died (of natural causes) and there in small Cypriot island is divided into half and seems that nobody wants to do anything about that.
I bought special insurance for the car for 10 Cyprus pounds per day. This insurance is obligatory, one you have from the rental company does not cover north side! With this you go to passport control booth and you fill in piece of paper with proud name Visa. You get a stamp, and off you go onto forbidden land as it used to be quite recently. Only last few years the border opens up a bit.
Right after the border, first shock. Road signs are a bit different and all in Turkish. City names are in Turkish and are different from what I had on the map. Later on I also could see generally speaking the road markings and directions are not very well developed over there. |

 Cape Kormakitis Recently I had to spent few days in Cyprus, in Nicosia (or Lefkosia) with my team members. Only 4 days in the end, but we had quite some fun. Cyprus is really nice place to go to in September or October where is still very warm but not too hot, while back home you already need to wear a coat in the morning. Another thing is also that in that period main vacations season is over. |

 Lagos, Nigeria My friends from the office - Robert and Delyan - had recently some fun working in Nigeria. Around a month in Lagos and visit to Ajuba. Now upon their return Delyan agreed to publish his pictures from there! WOW, to say the least. Over 1300 fotos! Some of them may seem similar or duplicated, but I have already filtered some! Otherwise it would be even more. I believe they show to certain extend real daily life of over there. Similar to India but on the other had different. Completely different way of life and perception. So enjoy the gallery: Lagos, Ajuba - Nigeria |

Well, time has come to redesign my website. I was quite lazy but the I had to do it in the end. One of the reason was the fact that my old domain with my name JerzyBin.--- has been basically 'stolen' from me. Some strange Californian company overtook my domain when I was moving it to new provider and for few days it was let's say free to buy. And they bought it. Well, good luck. I will be looking at it from time to time just in case they do not use my name for something bad. Now I have JerzyBin.EU web site! |

Preparations.So back I am from down under! And in on piece just as well! Did not do as many kilometres as planned but still had lot of fun and saw fantastic and very different part of the world. I figured out that since I am not running a marathon of any kind I can just concentrate on things I wish to do and not only think about the distance covered. Whatever you do it must be fun.... so let's start the diary boys and girls! |
