Toulouse Lautrec in Limassol

On Saturday we went to Limassol and Frederique (my partner in crime for our trip to New Zealand) took me to the Old Town to see a rare and wonderful exhibition of the works of Toulouse Lautrec and the Belle Epoque. The exhibition was housed in part of the old carob mill museum and opposite the medieval castle. After we walked through the old town as night was approaching - quite magical. Later that evening we all went for sushi. Not really my cup of tea but I had a lovely rare beef dish with asparagus and mild wasabi sauce. The rest ate raw fish. Yuck.

After visiting the exhibition which was wonderful, Frederique and I walked through the old Turkish town of Limassol as dusk was falling.
