Following EGSR06, we took a bus to Agia Napa on the southeast coast of Cyprus, where we spent an additional three days enjoying invited speakers on various graphics rendering and modeling topics.

After the EG Symposium on Rendering in Nicosia, we took
a bus to Agia Napa on the southeast coast of Cyprus
for a follo-on seminar with invited speakers. Here
is my hotel room.

Helge and Dominique were there for both symposia, and
it was the first conference Helge had ever been to where
he didn't need to give a presentation.

The seminar talks were held at the sister hotel up the
beach, and we took every opportunity to dip our toes.

Lunches always ended up running over thanks to the relaxed
atmosphere (and service).

Most evenings were filled with planned activities.
This evening, we were treated to a Cypriot cultural
museum.

There were many of these buggies driving around town,
which you could rent at a reasonable price. They would
not even have been street legal in most countries.

No question that Mashhuda takes better pictures, in
front of the lens or behind it.

I swam back into one of these caves -- not this one,
but a smaller one near our hotel. That was an experience.
Back to Manchester and Leicestershire
