Thank you namitha! Yeah i need to start going exploring this time of year, the weather gets to you a little.

I have never experienced temperatures below 20 Celsius and, the sun is almost always bright in the mornings. That's the benefit of living nearer to equator, I guess. But I have to say, eventhough the spotting is in less light its very beautiful.
