A brief break in the monsoon when the rains stopped.

So I thought I'd take a break from posting old stuff and get something up to date on here.  So this weekend it looked as if it was going to be another washout. The rain here during monsoon season is incredible. Went out for a couple of drinks on Friday night with my good friend Frank who is leaving in a week unfortunately! Saturday morning it rained into the afternoon and then bang, the sun comes out. So I did what any sun starved Scotsman would do and went to the nearest outdoor swimming pool!

Turned out to be a great idea, even if we (Frank, Jane, Alastair and myself) did look totally out of place. It was a very unusual setting a few swimming pools situated next to a huge motorway and the subway carts hurtling overhead. When we went into the water it was freezing (no doubt from all the rain we'd had) and also the lifeguards all started blowing whistles and pointing at their heads. We eventually got the message, you must wear a swimming cap to go in the water!

The evening sunset was grogeous, so we walked for a bit then grabbed a pizza and some beer. win win.

We tried so many jump photos, at least I got a train in this picture!

Got it!
