Three Cliffs Bay - WALESThis is a breathtaking view of the vast sandy area left dry every day in the low tide, a beautiful beach and the dragon's back spikes coming out of the sand. Magical coast in South Wales.
After six long years in the same stressfull job, I've signed my resignation and decided to go to places I've always dreamt of going to - with no time constraints! I bought a big cruising motorbike, packed all the basic stuff I need for a few months on the move - including my heavy rock climbing equipment and camping stuff... and hit the road!
But before I tell you more about my big journey, let's start with the pics of my summer holidays in SOUTH WALES and BRAZIL. A good starter to the main course!
There's a caption with each photo, so I won't write much more at the time being. I'm at Fountainebleu at the moment and the weather's being great so not much time to spend at the internet cafe, but I garantee you're going to love the pics in the next blog! See you

Good Effort AwardsKai belays me as I struggle my way through the crux of this route on Three Cliffs Bay; not quite this time yet, had to wait until the tide was down again the following morning.
Three Billy Goats GruffNo, Mr Ogre, me is just the little one, you should wait a while to catch my two friends on the right-hand-side, Vanderlei and Alison. They are much bigger than me. Hehehe.
Cone's Slab VDiffThese cones were part of an interactive (or so I hope) exibition at the museum in Curitiba. Very nice arrangement and angles I found very difficult to resist climbing!
BreakWell-deserved rest after such arduous boldering. On my way to Fountainebleau next!
