At the moment the time difference is they are 2 hours ahead of us. On Sunday, does anyone know, will they still be 2 hours ahead?

If you have been to cyprus, did you have any problem using credit cards in restaurants/shops?

It looks like they change times on Sunday at 4.00 in the morning?

This site implies that they always change on the same date as UK....so difference will always be 2 hours. (apart from actual hours of change)

Came back at 5am today they are 2 hours ahead but the clocks change on the weekend the same as ours, used my cards with no problems, We went to Pathos for my sons wedding it is really warm but goes a bit chilly in the evening so you will need a cardi or wrap , had a text earlier from my daughter to tell me its a very hot day today, hope you have a wonderfull time just as I did

Thank you Pam, sounds lovely, yes I saw the weather forecast and it is looking good for next week.

Thanks Wendy, Just hope T can get rid of this awful cough he has picked up from somewhere. He will be no fun on the plane!! Glad you still have the nice weather anyway.

Enjoy yourselves Ann,it is a lovely country ,even if food is a bit dearer than in blighty,and do try a local bakery,the breads and sweet stuffs are to die for.
We have been twice ,and wish we could go back yet again but Liz's health prevents it.Fred.
