A Walk Around Our Hotel Compound

· 4 Comments ·

Straight out the door and towards the sea.

Turn to the north and the choice is yours: walk next to the water line or on top of the beach or take the proper path next to sunbeds.

After not meeting anybody for at least one kilometre we tried a bit more inland and ended up on a small country road with no shadow anywhere.

Found some relief on a path flanked by olive trees.

which led us back towards the hotel following the tire tracks between the bales of hay and the beach.

A Little Hidden Lake

· 7 Comments ·

One of the things I like about our running (and these days more often than not walking) group is that we get to go to places that I normally would not find on my own.

Like this lake near Teplice in the Czech Republic. Our group never met anyone at all while we circled the lake and finally decided to jump in, even though we hadn’t brought our costumes.

Limited contact walking

We can’t go far because of the rules for social distancing (which is a misnomer, really, physical distancing would be a better name for it) but we are allowed out of the house to go for a walk or to go shopping.  We can go for a walk in the company of persons from the same household.  So we combined grocery shopping and driving a small distance to go for a walk in the local woods.  The trees are still bare and the ground is covered with brown leaves from last autumn but looking a bit closer one can find the first fresh green leaves and also flowers, in this case heath violets, pilewort, and wood anemone.  I’m not quite sure how the grape hyacinth got into that part of the woods but there it was.
