morning caffeine fix!
SATURDAY – Visiting Psili Amos, the
next beach along from Mykali Bay, is
a fun trip. Psili Amos is easily
accessible by either a 15-minute
gentle bike ride (using Richmond’s
own bikes) or a 30-minute walk.
Alternatively, and not for the faint-
hearted, there is a beautiful hike
route over the high road on the hills
that gives such wonderful views of
the bay and eventually winds down
to the sandy beach. With shallow
waters that go incredibly far out and
views of Turkey in the distance, this
beach is lovely to venture to for
some lunch or a coffee - one can
often end up staying the entire day!
Psili Amos is a particularly special
place for the Richmond team as this
is where we have been witness to
several baptisms of refugees that
Linda our resort pastor has met
during her work at the camp this
summer.
SUNDAY – This is definitely one of the highlights of the week and a day where
we enjoy fantastic times of fellowship. We start with our communion service in
the morning led by our ministry leader; here, we take time to be thankful and
break bread with one another. Following this, we head down to the waterfront
and join in with the weekly Richmond regatta! These legendary races always
result in lots of fun and laughter as people fall into the water (often when
trying out risky moves to get ahead… then ending up capsized!).
The staff team on the safety boats have to keep a close eye to make sure
nobody sneaks over the start line before the race begins! But it is all fun and
games and many an afternoon has been spent following the regatta
reminiscing about the antics on the water. Then in the evening we have the
much loved ‘Big Quiz’; always a favourite, this quiz tests both general and
Richmond-specific knowledge!
