My first proper Earthquake!

 Last night at 3.07am was woken to everything moving, bedroom cupboard door rattling and general WTF moment! This is my first really quake, the previous one I had felt while I was offshore in Qatar, but thought that was just the crane driver being a bit rough with a load landing. Last nights was different, the whole place was shaking and lying it bed it felt really weird last a good 20+ seconds I would have guessed. Turns out it was a Magnitude 6.6, located around 48Km WNW of Polis, off the west coast of Cyprus. At least no damage here and everyone fine. Eldest daughter thought it was 'so cool', think that was her first experience of one as well. Full details can be found at: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000gaqu/executive

The Arrival........Day #17 - Family meetup

Still pottering about, move stuff around and setting up more of the electrical items. With the size of the villa and the concrete construction, it was difficult to get complete coverage. Fortunately, I have a stack of extenders, and with the main router + 4 extenders, I have semi-decent coverage. I plan to replace all these eventually with a mesh wifi system (probably the Ubiquiti AmpliFI), but need to see where I can get those parts here.

Today, also had a meet up with my brother and his family who were over on holiday. Hadn't seen them since before I moved to Qatar, picked them up from their hotel, and came up to the villa for a look, then went down to the little restaurant at the bottom of the hill. Arrived at the restaurant around 7, and were eventually the last to leave at 1am, so overall, think it was a great evening!

The restaurant was called Casa Luna and you can see the Trip Advisor reviews at https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g190384-d2716572-Reviews-Casa_Luna-Paphos_Paphos_District.html
