Äntligen sommar

Lördag 30 mars
Yesterday we spent the day on the bed, reading all day. The weather was worse than ever.
We felt that we deserved a day of rest.
Today, the last day, we woke up to brilliant Sunshine and warm winds. All we had time for was a nice crêpe with icecream.
The plane is leaving in a couple of hours.

Bergspasset

Torsdag 28 mars
Today we took a bus trip to the mountins where we walked 10 km. Nice weather, and lots of beautiful flowers.
Coming home we could have used a nice nap. Unfortunately there seems to be an international soccer tournament for little boys going on and four houndred boys are staying at our hotel.
They are rather noisy!

Utflykt till Ayamonte, Spanien

Måndag 25 mars
The weather continues to be iffy!
We decided to take the Ferry to Spain.
There, lo and behold! I finally found the tile-covered square I remembered from the last time I was in Portugal, where I thought it was, and one of the reasons I wanted to go here. Turned out it was in Ayamonte, Spain. Of course, that was16 years ago.


Utflykt till Travira

Löerdag 23 mars
Bad weather. We rented a car and went to a little town, Tavira. And stumbled onto a big camera obscura-construction. We were told that the first was built during da Vinci's time.
It was absolutely fascinating! Watching what was going on in real time on a disc, about 2 m in diameter.
The guy turned the objective on the Roof making it possible to see the town 360 degrees around.

Vi kämpar på!

21 mars sunny and a bit chilly in the Evelina
We are still hanging in there. Yoga at 7, Ulla is whining that it's really tough. Malin has been dismissed from yoga class because her back is killing her. She spends a lot of time and money at the chiropractor. Other than that she hangs in there and works harder than the rest of us.
Other then My knee, I am ok.
About 200 people are in our group - of which only three are drinking wine... Hmmm ....

Första dagen

The day started early with yoga, then circuit- training in the gym, then Malin went to runningschool an me an Ulla went to learn trekking Pole school. Never knew there were so many things to do with the Poles.
Then we went for a walk in the town to buy necessities, such as water and wine. And the rain was pouring down.
This morning we woke up wondering how to get out of the bed!
Morning yoga was even more painful. Malin went to the chiropractor,  who excused her for the afternoon activities, so Ulla and I kept her company in her day of rest. So instead we took a slow 8 mile walk to the neighbouring town.
The weather was fantastic Today.

På väg till Portugal

The last glasses of wine before leaving for bootcamp -at least, that's what Malin thinks, Ulla and I are a little doubtful about that -  we probably drink a little more than we exercise.
