Gone hiking

As I mentioned in this post (link), I was going to for a 5 hour hike. Sadly the guide cancelled because of bad weather (something about a flood), but since Sara had a group of Spanish exchange students to entertain, we decided to go for another walk, on a track called the "throat of hell"(le gole dell'infernaccio). Which was unlike its name very nice. Maybe a bit like hell for southern Spaniards, who are use to a desert climate, not rainy Autumn in Italy. And it did rain all four hours we walked. which we (Sara and I) enjoyed a bit, since the exchange students had been out partying all night, so it was only fair we dragged them for some good exercise :-).

Even without of the please of torturing the Spaniards a bit, I enjoyed the rainy weather more then just a bit, it reminded me of Denmark - now you Danes would probably say, that you will never miss weather like that, but after just one summer here, more or less without a drop of water, I am craving for it, and a hole day of walk, being probably dressed (finally), was fantastic:



The boots were perfect, I wasn't cold, wet or anything at any point on this trip. So james bond go home.

It was that kind of beautiful, where you want to take a picture every 10 meters, and I would have, if it wasn't because of my love for my camera, and my respect for it hating water, that I didn't. But the name and the fog gave some parts of it, a bit of a gloomy atmosphere, the person who came up with the names for this place must really have been in a bad mood. there is a place where there is a series of narrow waterfalls. This is called "Pisciarelle" which basically means "small pees". Its also very beautiful, and I didn't take a picture of it.

I did however take a picture of the cliff right next to it. which can be seen here:


Its a bit to the right.

Funny enough we went through a place where it looks completely like the forest I used to run around in, in Denmark.
, well except for all the hills. and the missing beach.

Like so many other places I been before, I hope I will be back to enjoy it again... hopefully we can hope for a good rainy weather like this time, sadly its just as hard to plan for a rainy day down here, as it is for a sunny day in Denmark.

I am sorry about the quality of the pictures. But I am still afraid of using the flash after scaring some nuns the other day (link).
