bananas

Cyprus - Day 12 - we had plans for more exploring today but our hire care broke down about 20 minutes from where we were staying. We waited two hours on a petrol station forecourt for assistance, during which time we were befriended by the very friendly family who managed it. At some stage a battered old pick-up truck stopped to refuel, and the driver sold us some of his fresh crop of bananas. As this was the most positive thing that happened today, I thought the bananas deserved an outing on 365!!!

Thank you for all your lovely comments recently. Once I have caught up, I will start repaying the compliment, I promise.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck today.....hopefully you can enjoy the rest of your time in Cyprus.

So in every cloud comes a silver lining. As we say around here, the adventure doesn't begin until things stop going as planned! Lovely fruit shot!

Bit of a continental bugbear, the heat just slows everything and everyone down. How funny that bananas were the most positive thing of your day!

@fannyb Fanny, yes, it's all about how you deal with this stuff, isn't it? The bananas were fantastic, so fresh, and we learnt so much from the family who owned the petrol station. In a way, it was one of the most interesting days...
