Thanks all for your comments.
It was certainly a week of contrasts. Most of the rain fell at night and the days were warm and breezy to windy. The little stream at one stage became quite full and cut off the Sea Breeze and Mirage unless you were prepared to paddle!
There were also days where the sun shone and bright blue skies showed Arillas to be the paradise that we love. A bonus for me was there were "NO MOSSIES" at least I never met any.
I got to snorkle by the jetty on one of the sunny days and didn't see many fish to be honest. While I was snorkeling along I turned around and there was a little shoal of fish swimming behind me....must have thought I was their Mummy!!! So I managed to snap them quickly before they disappeared. I was so happy I took a photo of the tyre on the jetty!
As the temperatures were so kind I managed to walk the two headlands and enjoyed the walk to Afionas. In George Bay the sea was so calm it was like a millpond unlike the sea in Arillas which had a few waves when I got back. The views were really wonderful and well worth the long trek to get there.
On the way back my knees were suffering a bit. I wondered how long it would take me to get back down when from The Night Owl a hero came forth on his trusty steed...well no it was Eggy in his trusty Punto! He asked did I want a lift back to Arillas I said I'd LOVE one! Before I could say "pork pies" I was back on the sea front in Arillas. Don't you love it when the gods smile down on you?
I know that some people were a bit disappointed that the weather was a little mixed but I thought that was part of the charm of my visit out of the main season. I would certainly go again at this time of year. Missing it muchly
Cheers Nan xx
