We couldn't do countryside walks in that heat so we drove to neighbouring villages and towns, tried to stay in the shade, swam in the Alqueva (the largest artificial lake in Western Europe) and back at the campsite had a swim to cool down before getting settled on the terrace with some wine, local bread and cheese, melon and other such delicacies. Wouldn't mind doing it all oevr again!

My hair was close to my waist when I was there. But I was so fricking hot i decided to cut it off! There were 4 women around me, holding my hair upwards and cutting it! Cost me about 30,000 vietnamese dong (~2 bucks!). ahhh felt so much better after about 6-7 inches off!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483665746779764303.post-70511367891450785232011-06-20T18:21:45.508-04:002011-06-20T18:21:45.508-04:00I'm currently in Austin, Texas - hotter here t...I'm currently in Austin, Texas - hotter here than it ever gets in Cambodia or any time I've been in Greece. 103 in the shade... if you can find it. I'm traveling by bus and few stops in this town have shelters or shade - ugh! <br /><br />Probably not the travel story you're looking for but it's what I got for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483665746779764303.post-77881582715713252462011-06-20T13:11:47.516-04:002011-06-20T13:11:47.516-04:00Hottest memory was Koa Samui in March.

Not but 5 minutes later I was soggy, hot, sweaty mess lol.Leif aka The Runaway Guidehttp://www.runawayguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483665746779764303.post-34269705999516354892011-06-20T11:30:40.500-04:002011-06-20T11:30:40.500-04:00Last summer, Ferry from Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan...Last summer, Ferry from Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan and driving across Turkmenistan's Karakum desert.

You just couldn't escape the sun, or the extreme heat.<br />My current city of Panama City Beach, Florida gets pretty damn hot and thanks to the sea breeze, the thunder clouds, which help to cool things off in the summer, stay way north of us. This week and last, the average temps are in the mid 90s, with the heat index in the 110s. And that's at 10 in the morning. :)Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157908224878378217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483665746779764303.post-12313689688141816232011-06-20T10:27:32.200-04:002011-06-20T10:27:32.200-04:00My hottest memory was arriving in Vanuatu.
