... though it hasn't rained too bad since Sunday. Yesterday and today we've made mountain excursions, to Vallter 2000 and Val de Nuria skiing centers. Both are up at 2km and the temperature dropped down to 9 degrees!! Today we gave up and bought jackets to keep the wind and rain at a distance. Especially the Val de Nuria trip was really cool with an ancient railway going up the mountain etc.

We're still bravely camping despite the uninviting weather. I have to say that the others are quite a bit more "hardcore" in terms of their equipment. For instance, this one family had a tent with a sizable "living room" and three separate spaces for sleeping! Maybe it would make sense to buy a plot of land in Jollas with a sea view and just set up a tent there to get rid of the apartment problems? We, on the other hand, only have the small tent and a little flashlight, so when it gets dark at night (before 9pm.) we generally just try to sleep... A really wild vacation, eh? ;)
One more thing: I always thought it was a Finnish thing to switch to shorts the second your vacation starts, regardless of the weather. However, Spaniards really master this. They wear those fluffy winter coats during the relatively mild winter months, yet now walk around in shorts and miniskirts (the temperatures are probably about the same).

It's thundering and lightning in Finland. Last few days have been incredibly humid (also in the office). I hope you'll have better wheater for the rest of your holiday. Keep on camping, KL
