Well I re-understood pretty quickly, during my cruising through the island,Point #6 that the weather is still one of the most powerful influencing factors which will basicaly decide for you – without you – what can you do and what not. One moment you are cooked under the strong sun and half an hour later you are puting back your still wet jacket from fog and rain, because the cloud came and its almost raining again. Excuse me! I came here to climb the volcano – hopefuly survive – and then chill on the sunny golden beach with palmas, coconuts and topless chicas around me! Dammit!

       The Island, as the natives told me, is basicaly splitted into 2 parts – Fauna & Flora richer NORTH and the SOUTH which is more rocky and gets more sun. The south area, where you may more areas with rocky, dusty fields BUT also more stabile, less humid weather, offering better conditions for staying on beaches. The North is more „Green“ but with this comes price, as you can experience increased power of „Micro-clima“. It seemed that with the higher attitude came lower temperatures – obviously. Later in the day also colder wet fog slowly aproaching from the lower attitudes- experienced in the north when I was on the trip. The suprising part of the Micro-Clima was, that the actual distance between two areas with totaly different clima was so small. I was – cold and wet  literaly looking down from the mountain to the, not far away beaches being BBQ-ed in the ruthless sunlight. If you will change locations and altitude as I did, just be prepared for quick changes in temperatues and humidity and you are good to go. BTW! It is not that horrible as I am describing 😀
