How to find yourself ?

Being old and still Bold, I agreed to go to Beirut...Sorry Cyprus for a short hols with my wife, sat in the Thomson A/C and flew in a south easterly direction good but boring flight and kept checking the heading on my I phone thingy.

When in the good part of Cyprus (Paphos) I notice the I phone thingy was showing a Long/lat of

34 Deg 50' 40" N with the lat being 32 Deg 29@ 2" E.

It may sound odd to you people out in Rotor-head world but how is this position. reading deciphered, I understand the Lat and Long Degrees, but what are the other parts are they Mins and seconds and if so how are they used to locate the actual point where I took the reading.
