A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

Cold?

And by now the rain had turned to hail for goodness' sake and it was turning cold. I ended up putting my hands in plastic bags, in place of the gloves I hadn't bought with me, to try and stop my fingers from feeling numb. Suddenly I felt right at home, it was like the Lakes in winter.

It was interesting too in that for the first time I got to reciprocate and be a help to Juanjo, who, being a mediterranean chappy, felt we should turn back - whereas cold, wet, and being freezing was much more normal for me. Didn't have any gloves though, socks and a couple of plastic bags kept the worst of the cold at bay.
