This is a UN coin handed out to all the soldiers stationed in Cyprus over the last year, my Dad's friend brought me one back, however, they spelled Cyprus wrong on it.

I took the new tram to the airport. It swiftly transported me there in around 30 minutes. I made my way to domestic departures only to discover that I needed to be in the international terminal. I was flying to Ercan airport in Northern Cyprus. I assumed that it was considered part of Türkiye and hence would be an international flight, I was wrong.

The flight was one of the shortest journeys that I’ve taken, but also one of the most chaotic. The passengers were so loud, chattering away for the duration of the flight. Then when we hit the slightest bit of turbulence people started screaming.

After 40 minutes, we arrived in Ercan international airport. The airport is new, so much so that the toilets didn’t have lights or running water. I waited patiently at passport control and approached the counter. The gentleman asked me how many days I will be staying? I replied 7 nights. To which he responded “so, 8 days?” He stamped my passport and let me in.

Outside arrivals, I tried to find a bus that would take me to Nicosia. I found a line of old beaten up buses, with the destination of Ercan written on a paper card, which is the name of the airport. A gentleman approached me and told me to purchase a ticket in the terminal. Soon enough, I found a very beaten up bus and we made our way towards Nicosia. Nicosia is called Leftkosa in Turkish which mades things all the more confusing.

We pulled into a dusty bus station on the edge of the walled old city. The first thing that I noticed was that everyone was from West Africa. I dragged my suitcase towards the walled old city in the afternoon heat. It was 36 degrees Celsius and I was struggling. Eventually I made it to the checkpoint to pass over to the Republic of Cyprus. I swiftly passed through the Turkish and then Greek checkpoint. I walked through the small alleyways of the old city until I found my accommodation. I’m staying in what used to be an old barn. It’s not ideal, but hay!

This evening I discovered a restaurant in an old shopping arcade which was quite reasonably priced. I struck up conversation with the person on the table next to me. He lived in Croydon, and had gone to Whitgift School. He went to the University of Bristol, which he didn’t like because of the people. Now he works for a VAT company based in London and is based in Cyprus 3 months a year. It didn’t sound like a bad gig. Interesting he has never been to the Turkish side of the border, despite living in the Nicosia.

Nicosia is a nice city, it feels British, but of course it would after years under colonial rule. It’s cooler than Antalya in the evenings and a refreshing breeze flows between the cities alleyways. Surprisingly it’s very multicultural. Right now, I’m listening to the police men blow their whistles at daring individuals whilst an Elton John tribute act belts out the greatest hits. Wait, now he has become a Robbie Williams tribute act. As I said, Nicosia is very English.
