Gozo Valentino to you. Stevie Bela Lugosi Haston.
The colours, or colours are good today! It was getting a bit dull, washed out, and insipid, but it brightened up nicely. It's a funny year, it looks like its gonna be bad for the farmers here. The temps are too hot in the sun some days already.
South African Soral is an ancient refugee here.
I equipped three routes today, a 6b+, a 6c, and a 6a, all really good, all with titanium gear. Thanks to all the people who made this possible, Rich from Qala, being very kind recently. Two of the routes are aretes, which offer nice exposed climbing all on the Nadur cliffs.
Colours here are bright, this is the stern of a Lanteena rigged local boat.
The sea is very clear at the moment, a bit cold for swimming without a bit of a wet suit, but well worth it for the extreme visibility.
A beautiful harmless local snake.
The warm weather has brought out the snakes, we just passed this fellow in the street, and picked him up before he was run over. Hope everybody is getting fit.
