Weekend 12/13 March I was on the beach, lots of swimming.
The Saharan dust cloud arrived 14/03, lasted 3 days before torrential rain made an appearance. U.K. friends in camper vans left post haste and headed to Portugal. It’s rained on & off ever since....and the short term forecast is atrocious. Low cloud, intermittent heavy showers, zero sun. Even went to Beni this afternoon for two hours I was so desperate.
I’ve joined the local gym to fill a few daily hours, stayed sufficiently dry for a half decent afternoon walks without getting soaked to the skin with my good waterproofs.
Seriously thinking about flying home early...several logistics to overcome...returning a friends loan car to the back of beyond, arranging an expensive airport transfer, flight change (easy) getting home on public transport from LBA late evening.
Weather is so bad I’m happy to lose both accommodation and rental costs, with additional expenses of flight change and transport to and from.
So much for flying out late February expecting warmer, settled weather on the Costa B. C’est terrible.
Worse things happen at sea
