10th November @ Midday.
Heavy winds overnight with occassional rain made it one of those mornings where you just wanted to put on the heating and stay in bed all day.
The rain guage calculated 7.5mm and after making the effort to face the day we were faced with a lot more rain and wind.
The plastic chairs attempted to escape from the top balcony and a couple of big flower pots blown over. A cold morning with a temperature of 11 deg.
However, we got to Arillas, stopping on the way to remove various large bits of olive branches trying to block our progress. A few more holes are beginning to appear in the roads as well, just to make the drive a little more interesting.
So take a look at what we found.....
...
...... And we thought it was windy at Kavvadades.
What a struggle to get out the car! The door tried to break away from it's hinges!
I could hardly stand up, and this is whilst sober!
The photos aren't that good but I was under a lot of pressure.
(Pictures taken in the rain and I was moving backwards at the time !!)
You had to see it to believe it, I think. A very dramatic Arillas with, suprisingly, a few people driving around enjoying it as much as we did.......................
Not enough,though, to take a stroll on the beach so we pointed the car home for a well earned drink, or two. - 3 or 4 sounds very good at this moment in time.
It's now stopped raining and the sun popped it's head out, had a look around, and possibly decided that was it for the day.
The heavy wind is still trying to make a point. Probably telling us to curl up for the afternoon with a good DVD. - No satellite signal at the moment. Happy Days!!
Cheers
