Despite the wind it was warm and most people stayed on the deck.

One windsurfer took to the sea but there was hardly any wind.

Our beach was pebbly and occupied mostly by windsurfers and kitesurfers.
|
|
When there was no wind, kites and surfs were spread on the beach.

Kites on the beach and kitesurfers wandering around and praying for wind.

The water is not very warm and the wind blows all the time, so we opted to just sit on the beach for a while and leave swimming for some other time.
|
|
Fuerteventura is a very windy island so people have made use of the wind power since ancient times. And yes, that's me. :)
|
|
Just before returning home we drove to the village of El Cottilo to admire the cliffs and long, wind-swept beaches.
|
|
The wind never stops blowing.
|
|
All the time the wind kept sweeping the sand over the dunes (and into us!).
|
|
Windswept sandy beaches strewn with rocks.

|
Windows, a lamp and a door
|
|
The beaches of Sotavento are a windsurfer's paradise.
|
|
Many people come here to windsurf.
|
|
The wind was quite strong but it didn't make big waves.
|
|
There is so much space the beach is never crowded. Well, maybe only when the World Windsurfing Championship is held here. ;)
|
|
Enjoying the wind.

The village of Puerto de la Cruz with a single giant wind turbine.
|
|
There's another lighthouse at a second tip of the peninsula, an even more desolate and windy one with views of the Cofete beach in the distance.
|
|
The wind was so strong here I could harldy keep my camera still.
|
|
The road the descends from the lookout at the pass is winding and narrow.
|
|
We just sat for a while and enjoyed the sound of the wind.
|
|
A windmill.
|
|
After breakfast in merciless wind we began the ascent.
|
|
The walk along the trail is pleasant, but it was hot and humid and windless that day.
|

The clouds obscured the sun, which is not a good thing when it's windy and you're wet. ;)
|

The coast through the dirty window. :(

The road winds its way high onto the slope of the mountain from where the views of the Alps are magnificent.
|
|
The view from my window yesterday was quite white, but nothing compared to today.
|
|
After a few minutes of merciless wind at the top we ran back for cover. And we weren't the only ones. ;)
|
|
The road that leads to the village of Stara Baška winds its way high above the sea.
|
|
I was sitting on the left-hand side in the back, so in order to take photos from the right-hand side window I had to simply point the camera blindly and press the shutter. I managed to catch Lake Bled. :)
|
|
The wind blew the snow all over the place.
|
|
Yes, the wind was fierce!

In the mid morning, my boyfriend and I drove to a nearby windsurfers' beach. On the way we went past this bay.

Starting early from the Kamniška Bistrica valley meant we had to use our headlamps before it dawned above Velika planina.
|
|
As we were making our way up to the Kokra Saddle, the sunrise colored the looming walls above us orange.
|
|
Coming out of the woods.
|
|
An interesting shop window in Nuremberg.
|
|
In the last stretch below the saddle there were a few snowy patches.
|
|
Yellow mist in the valley.
|
|
It had been relatively warm until we reached the saddle, but there the howling wind almost blew us over.
|
|
After putting our jackets, caps and gloves on we continued towards Grintovec.
|
|
Some people were already returning from the peak!
|
|
There was little snow on the sunny, grassy slope.
|
|
The views to the southwest revealed fog in the valley.
|
|
Somebody was bored. :)
|
|
Slowly we made our way up the mountain.
|
|
The last slope is deceptive: slanting at an steady angle it makes the peak look closer than it really is.
|
|
Kalški greben in the background.
|
|
Finally we reached the top!
|
|
And we had to brace ourselves as the wind was so strong it almost knocked us over.
|
|
Looking south: Mokrica, Košutna, Kalški greben, Krvavec.
|
|
Looking east.
|
|
Fog in the valley.
|
|
Peter and I at the top.
|
|
Yay! :)
|
|
Soon more people reached the summit, braving the wind. Can you see snow particles in the air?
|
|
In 15 minutes my fingers froze while taking photos, so we soon headed back down.
|
|
Descening was much faster than climbing.
|
|
There wasn't just one trail, there were hundreds.
|
|
My estimate is that about 50 people climbed Grintovec that Sunday.
|
|
A bit further down the slope the wind abated a bit and I was able to change lenses again. Velika planina in the distance.
|

The same creation of the bored climber(s). :)

By then the snow got heavier and wetter.

We saw a girl in only a T-shirt. Brrrrrr!
|
|
Sliding down the scree from the Kokra Saddle was the most tiresome part of the whole climb.
|
|
When we were almost back in the valley, we could see that we were actually in a layer of fog. Brana above us.
|
|
Looking back to where we just descended from.
|
|
The path is winding and steep.

|
Looking through the window at the Prisank mountain.
|
|
The view from another window to the south, towards the Trenta valley.
|
|
But it wasn't so idyllic as it seems - the wind was ferocious.
|
|
The reflections in the windows made it look as if the lights in the hut were turned on.
