Welcome back, looks like you had a better time than our rain soaked week in Wales.
Nice lizard picture.

Funnily enough, I think you'd miss the rain (yes, even when it's like this!). I didn't like the landscape at all - it's almost desert, with no standing water, no streams or rivers. There are very few insects and I can't imagine there'd be many wild mammals about either.

The lizards were terrific fun, though.
