Everyone keeps saying around here that we’re unlucky with the weather in this region. From all accounts it is normally warm and dry, but this year it has snowed and rained more than ever. I think we’re still doing ok though, as these are the first few days of set in rain that we’ve encountered, and we’ve been lucky enough to be keeping out of it with Bene and Sami. They took us around to see what we could see in the cyclonic conditions. The same beach of the picture perfect sunset we witnessed on the way in is now buried under about half a metre of seaweed. I saw some real live flamingos for the first time of my life, and we witnessed the best windsurfing spot in Europe. Bene cooked up some great meals and started to understand some of our euride lingo and jokes. Simon and Sammi hit it off, discovering their shared love of surfing and rugby. We watched movies, chatted and read books. All in all it was a great rainy weekend in with good company. Thanks guys, looking forward to catching up soon!
