More Rain, yes really!!!

So we haven't had a day without rain since Austria, and it seems like ages ago. I'm not talking about a shower here and there, I'm talking about full on thunder and lightening and Monsoon type rain. I was expecting it to be sunny, but seems no, that's not our lot in life. We are camping again today anyway along the coast of Croatia, it it really beautiful and it was actually scorching hot when we arrived. Luckily we are smart to the weather now so set up everything properly first and shut the door before walking across the grass to the beach. We felt like we were going to melt completely until we got our feet in the water which seemed freezing. oo so refreshing. :) the tiny bay we are in is so cute, just a campsite with a few tents and caravans and a few boats tied up. the water is amazingly clear. As we finished up we heard the ominous sound of thunder rolling around. Really? Really? Again? Oh yes, we spent the rest of the afternoon in the tent whilst massive thunder and lightening crashed all around.



I couldn't resist the water even tho it was raining so i went for a swim, (Jez thinks I'm weird but that's nothing new), it seemed warmer than when the sun was out and it made the rain seem warm!!! It was so beautiful, if i stood really still i could see the fish swimming around my feet!!

The rain cleared long enough to eat our dinner and watch a fisherman set his nets and now its back but not with so much force!!! luckily our tent seems to be coping with everything we (and the sky) are throwing at it!!
