Konnos Beach, Cyprus, originally uploaded by TwoCrabs.

The Two Crabs took advantage of the long Eid weekend for a quick trip to Cyprus. This island-nation in the eastern Mediterranean is only 2 1/2 hours flight from Manama (non-stop on Gulf Air), the closest European destination to Bahrain. Apart from soaking up the sun and eating way too much, we did absolutely nothing. It was perfect! Our biggest challenge was driving on the left! Looking forward to our next regional getaway.
