Spain

A Camera Bike

In Spain I keep seeing the BKL Prolimp bikes and I like them. They’re tricycles rather than bikes but I think they could be useful. Instead of transporting a broadcast camera and tripod in a car or smart you could transport them on the back of this bike. Instead of a bin bag though I would have the tripod bag and find a way to fix the camera as well.

The Warm Sun

Warmed by the sun The Garmin Instinct warmed up in the Spanish sun while charging.

A Walk To Los Molinos from Javea

This walk takes you from the Port of Javea up to the lighthouse near San Antonio before continuing along the top towards Los Molinos. These are old grain mills. They used wind power to grind grain for several centuries before being taken out of action as modernisation arrived. The walk takes you along the port before you start to climb. As you walk along the port you will see a number of cats, either being lazy, or playing.

Mediterranean Cats

When you walk by the sea you see Mediterranean cats. They like to stay on the rocks sometimes. These were by the sea in Denia, Spain. Two cats by the mediterranean A cat by the Mediterranean Sea A cat by the sea The same cat by the sea

Views of the Mediterranean

With global warming the idea that we would get white Christmas, with snow, freezing weather and more is outdated. In the 21st century the opposite is true. We will probably get grey and rainy weather instead. If we stay in Switzerland. I used to love the idea of snowy Christmas, snowboarding and skiing but I don’t like the modern global warming version, of a boring cold, with no snow. That’s why it makes sense to migrate south, for a week or two and see the sun.

A Christmas Swim

The watch got to 92 days of battery life. I went for a swim in 15c water. it was just a pool swim.

Solar Watches and Spain

One nuissance of most modern smart watches is that you must charge then once a day, once a week, or once a month. When you’re in Spain though, with a solar watch things change. At first you go from “26 days of battery remaining” to “36 days of battery remaining”, to “39 days remaining”. Before long the watch displays “infinity time remaining”. When you’re in watch the sun charges the batteries faster than normal use depletes the batteries.
