July 29th 2019
The bad weather had arrived. Well, bad…it was heavily overcast but the temperature was still very mild. A good day to refill our long shelf life food supplies like coffee, sugar and such, which are always heavy to carry. But halfway to the supermarket the clouds dissolved making way for Mr. Blue Skies. It turned out to be a nice and sunny day again after all.
It’s really remarkable how inaccurate weather forecasts are. And since our live is governed by the weather, it can be a bit annoying sometimes. We planned to work today and get the groceries because it would be cooler and overcast. Of course we’re not complaining now the weather is better than forecasted. But if the weather is worse than predicted, or if the wind is coming from a completely different direction, we are less happy about it. We’re hoping that the forecasts are wrong again for the coming week. The predictions are not so favorable for the coming days and we might want to move on again soon. If not we might have to prolong our stay in Makkum. But with the weather you’ll never know.
