As a side note, I mentioned the groups of people standing in the water before. It’s an amazing sight for us Dutchies because we never saw anything like that in the Netherlands. And I thought it was due to the heat. But even this evening in the dusk we spotted several groups in the water … Read more
Most of the time when it’s so hot as it has been for the last weeks, we do our daily walk in the evening. And often we see a magnificent sunset. When it’s cloudless it is just an orange ball of fire sinking behind the mountains. But clouds make it even more spectacular. We really … Read more
Out here in the campo (countryside) live a lot of dogs. Our neighbor has six. They bark all day. So we move at the end of the week to another house. The best way to experience dogs is by walking through the campo. Every self-respecting farmer or house owner has at least one dog. Some … Read more
Saturday evening is always a busy evening here on the coast. So I decided to park the car on a spot where it usually is quiet, the large parking area near the Mushrooms of Bolnuevo. Officially they’re called Erosiones de Bolnuevo. Fortunately, Hannie suggested another parking spot not that far away. In which case we … Read more
They say you only practice hard enough if you are sweating. Well, sweating we are. Strangely enough, I sweat more nowadays than Tom does. In the Netherlands, I hardly sweated at all. It’s not just the temperatures though, but also the fact that we change our practice a lot. At times we walk longer distances … Read more

There are all kinds of activities. Today we encountered a big group of women mimicking a handsome man in the front. They … Read more
Today I have set a personal record! Touching my knees with my nose during the Seated Forward Bend, also known as Paschimottanasana. Last year I had an injury due to extensive walking (10.000 steps daily) on the wrong shoes. It took me a couple of months of physiotherapy and exercise to recover. Instead of quitting … Read more
Have you ever seen a YouTube video about the race for the best place next to the swimming pool? People get up before dawn – not to do their exercises like I do every morning – but to wait for the signal to rush to the desired spot, occupy it with their towels and run … Read more
Nowadays we walk after 8 pm because of the heat during the day. Much to our surprise, we saw a traffic-jam northbound when we entered Puerto de Mazarrón. It was a real exodus, but we weren’t worried because our walk would last an hour and after that, we had to do some shopping. Ha, what … Read more
This is not a Hyacinth, but a Yucca in full bloom. Like the yellow flowers growing in the garden a couple of weeks ago, the Yucca is a weed over here. It grows everywhere and most of the plants we pass on our daily walk have beautiful flowers. I had to take the picture skyward … Read more
