Today was another first for me......Segway riding.
TrySegway is a company located down in Kato Paphos, which is owned and run by Michael an Authorised Segway Engineer.
After arriving at the agreed time, Michael introduced us the Segways gave a brief overview of their operation and then after the usually liability declarations were signed, we popped on the mandatory helmets and headed across the road. Michael took the Segways over to us.
We spent the first few minutes just learning how to mount and dismount, and then getting comfortable going up and down the area, round in circles etc.
Then it was time to head out.....
We headed along the promenade area towards the harbour, round the harbour area and then out along the coastal path (Coastal Broadwalk) towards Tomb of the Kings and stopped at the back of the Elysium Hotel. On the way back, stopping off for a quick snack and a drink at the Lighthouse Beach cafe.
It was a lot easier than expected and you really do begin to feel like it is second nature. Even on the small hills and dips.
During the outing Michael took some pictures and then emailed these out once he had downloaded them from his camera. In total, it was around an 8km trip. The excursion we had gone on was the Coastal Tour, lasting about 2.5hrs and at €50 per person. Visit the

Wish we had more time and had gone further, but we had to be back in time to pick up the kids from school! Next time we will see if they are big enough and heavy enough to use them as there are restrictions.
A really good time had. Thanks Michael.
