The weather varied hugely.: it was sunny on the first day and second morning; cloudy on the second afternoon and all day on the third day; and rained on the fourth morning. It was not always great for photography but at least we weren’t exposed to four days of  extreme heat which we would have found difficult coming directly from winter in England.

I would like to thank Larry Sweetland for checking my IDs, correcting the errors and filling the gaps.
