    I loved both of your performances on the beach. Peter, yours was more olympic-like and Tommy, you did the perfect fairy-like dance. Looked fun and beautiful. Glad you were able to get away together.

    STUNNING!!!! guys, with capital letters.
    Nature never ceases to amaze us.
    I think Tommy was hoping for the dragon to actually appear in that cave. Lol.
    So that you don't miss your country house, the crowing of a rooster was heard.
    Thanks Peter for the historical references. Means a lot.
    That's life, yes sir. Thanks for sharing.

      Aww, thank you, Liliana 🤗 Tommy could have hoped, but no dragon showed up, oh well 😀
      Yay, we noticed crowing of roosters a few times, so it was almost like back home 😁 We also learnt something while telling you about the history of Cyprus, so it was beneficial for all of us 😊

    Wow, how wonderful, "we are sure that sunset is the moment when the earth sends the colors to sleep. But red, passionate and instinctive, always disobeys". Faced with such beauty we are certain that Peter indulged in a romantic serenade for his love! You confirm it's true Tommy! 😇See you next time R and D

    • @tommyandpeter

      That is beautifully said about the sunset, thank you 😊 We are glad the red disobeyed again 😁 Not sure about the serenade but at least the sunset was romantic ❤😉

    Wow, such a different climate than here in Northern Sweden! I was just out on a walk in a winter wonderland! And there, you're walking around in shorts! I don't know what will be the hardest here, being gay living alone in the forest, or the winters! 😂
    You're traveling so much! So glad you have the opportunities to do that, and share it all with us! Thank you, guys! 💕

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  Год назад

      Thanks, Daniel 😉 We love to travel but we mostly seek out places without people in nature, so we were pleasantly surprised in Cyprus with all the empty pretty beaches 😊 You would like it - no need for swimwear at all 😁
      Winter wonderland sounds great... But not now!! It's too soon 😀 We love snow in winter though, sadly we only get a few days here and there. Here it's mostly just overcast, gray, dark, colorless... Good luck surviving your winter. Hopefully you'll make it 😉😁

    Glad you had such a good time. In Queensland Australia we have many white sandy beaches and surf. Some places are very busy but if you travel further, the beaches become more isolated. It never snows, and its beautiful all of the year. Lovely to see you both.

    • @tommyandpeter

    Seeing all that DRY underbrush made me concerned over Brush Fires. 🔥 This video made me remember the Forest of Pine trees and the scent of pine needles while camping as a Child:)

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  Год назад +1

      You are right, Cyprus, like many other Mediterranean countries with forested areas, is susceptible to forest wildfires, especially during dry and hot periods. The island's climate and vegetation make it prone to such incidents.
      But the pine tree scent is amazing.

    Great video, Tommy and Peter. Which part of Cyprus were you visiting? I love the mountain areas you visited. I moved to Nicosia from Athens for work at the beginning of this year, and I haven’t seen such deserted, spacious areas yet. I hope to discover such beautiful places in the future as I get to know Cyprus better. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay on the island. Best regards, Rob

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  Год назад

      Hi Rob, thank you. We were mostly in the north-western part of Cyprus. Our accommodation was in the town/village called Pomos. We drove to the mountains from there, maybe 20 minutes. This part of the island is not that touristy and we really liked that. We'll show more beautiful places that we discovered in the upcoming videos 😊

    You’re both turning into full time holidaymakers. I was in Cyprus about 15 years ago. Me and the husband really enjoyed it. The ice cream was terrible, but the roads were a doddle to drive.
    Tommy…life with Peter…at the end of each day you must be left feeling worn out and exhausted. 😀🤣

    Hey guys. Does the Thonet company still exist?

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  Год назад

      Hi, we've never heard about it, but we looked up about it on the internet. Apparently in the aftermath of World War II, Thonet lost all of its production facilities in the Eastern Bloc states through expropriation, and the sales office in Vienna had been destroyed during the war.
      Nowadays there are 2 independent companies - one in Germany and one in Austria.
      Such bentwood furniture is well-known here in the Czech Republic too, mainly chairs, now when we look at the pictures.

      @@tommyandpeter thanks for that I appreciate it. Back in the late '60s thonet was one of the furniture companies we learned about when I got my interior design degree. It's still used over here as Cafe seating.

    • @tommyandpeter
      @tommyandpeter  Год назад +1

      So interesting and we are glad we've learned something new. Yes, they fit well into Cafes.
      Around 1860 there were more than 5 Thonet furniture factories in the Czech Republic. Back then it was one big country - Austria-Hungary (Austro-Hungarian Empire, a multinational empire). The most industrialized areas within Austria-Hungary during this period were Bohemia and Moravia - the regions that now form the Czech Republic, especially around Prague and Brno, were some of the most industrialized areas.
      It's so cool to read about and one could only wonder how it would be if the communist era here didn't happen (that slowed down the progress significantly).

    i guess you went to greek part, i actually dont know anyone who ever goes to turkish part of cyprus and is from europe. i never went to turkish part mostly coz i usually go there with my greek friend and i kinda do not want to support turskih economy on any way, coz of their politics. history of cyprus is same/simmilar to any european country.. i mean same thing happend in northern ireland, happening in ukraine and happened in yugoslavia. when small minority calls big mama or papa to helpt them, they are poor and an danger from big bad this or that.. classic exampel when minority dictates the rules to majority, just coz they have roots in some ancient colonistic state and cant rid of that mentality and that same colonistic state still have that mentality, more people and huge army so think they can do what ever they want in the name of protection of their own people, while in same time those people are not in any danger actually, they just have twisted nationalistic pride and exapnsion tendencies.. ..
    it is a shame for cyprus actually, coz it is beautifull place, can offer a lot, i once said to my greek friend that both sides were stupid and that new generations should change their behaviour and unite and demand independent cyprus, not being part of any of those. divide places lead to stagnation, big differencies in economyx and socai wellfare between 2 parts. seems czechia and slovakia were only inteligent and civilised enough when they went apart. every one else, lets go to war, lets call big mama turkey, russia or what ever.. european history is really insane. if aliens exists they must think of this place like a reality freak show, a zoo. and it seems we can never ever learn a lesson from past and history of others or our own.. insane..
    as usual great video, we laughed our butts off when tommy started to prance and dance on the beach and when he said i am a sea fairy i literaly burst into laugh.. he looked something between teasing you and having fun...

I could literally see his pupils got wider.. younger one still lives with me so he sometimes watched with me, just said nagh I would rather have the brother of the other one any time.. i was like wtf, in that moment i realised they are no longer 12 and 14..i could not believe what i am hearing, had to stop them before I hear something i rather not hear or know.. in that time it was obvious to me younger one is no bisexual as he liked to present..anyway hope you dont mind for this comment, just had to share that both your siblings have fans too if they ever start to have their own channels...
