Well, I'm 'enjoying' an unfortunately rainy day here in the Scilles, as in India, the weather defines life here. Although it is slightly different living in an underground bunker where you have no idea what the weather is until you step 'outside'. The weather has been quite tempermental; we haven't had the constant rain and flooding that 'mainland' england has had, but we have had some nasty weather over the last few days. The first week i got here though was gorgeous every day (actually the sun is just coming out again). My time here has been quite like the weather. The first few days the research didn't really seem to be going anywhere, but after that it really picked up, and now halfway through i feel like i could leave and be satisfied with the results.
The scenery is so gorgeous here and conducive to exploring. There are walking trails everywhere, and beautiful cliffsides and turqoise waters (which are nice to snorkel in albeit slightly cold {even in a wetsuit!}. Over the last 2 weeks i have been enjoying biking and running literally around the island, and yesterday i went for the big one and ran the whole way around the island-11 miles! I hadn't been planning on it, but the weather was so nice and the bunker so uninviting that i just decided to go for it.
