Isn’t it always cold and wet? Or is it just that way when I’ve been hiking there?

I lived there for year (taught English.... like so many others)and I couldn't believe how hot and humid it got. One morning I found that my leather boots had grow a fine furry fungus about half an inch all over them. I used to get so chaffed that I'd paint my backside with so much mercurochrome that I looked like a baboon in heat when I used to go to the sento. Planetross

I'll have to take a photo of it. I'm on a mission now. Sitting here sweating in shorts with all the windows open and debating whether to go to the beach or not this weekend; winter seems a long way off.

Sunrise on the summer solstice here in Australia would have people probably dressed in T-shirts and shorts. People who complain about the weather and winter here in Australia have no idea! Pat
