A2 Extreme weather in #Kauai led to a flash flood on the Wailua River while we were hiking and kayaking. We headed for high ground and waited for the crest. Here is what I found, Wilson! @adventurepretty #TRLT #traveltuesday #adventure

A2: Siem Reap during the rainy season can be hot and humid and wet. Quickly learnt that the best time to visit the Angkor temples was either early morning or late afternoon. Plus, if a storm does come - just wait, it will pass soon enough. #TRLT

replying to @ActivatedAdven1 @ActivatedAdven1 @AdventurePretty A2: Not sure if was Extreme --- but when in Banff, Alberta in 2010 it was so cold they closed all the ski hills. Stayed in the hotel and read and drank tea. I did go out one day for a dogsled run and almost got frostbite #trlt

A2 During extreme weather, we hunker down, and make the best of the situation. We indulge in the spa amenities if were at a hotel, enjoy a delightful dinner or play crib in the back of the vehicle were camping in.
@AdventurePretty, what do you do?

A2. Lightning storms in South Africa, especially in the Highveld, can get quite hectic but usually, you are able to ride it out. We used one such storm to just cosy on up in our tent, & enjoy the spectacle.

#TRLT A2: This ancient drink from #Siberia, Sbiten (Š”Š±ŠøŃŠµŠ½Ń), may help for extreme winters. Made of honey, water and spices, often prepared with herbs. Before the appearance of tea, the sbiten was probably the only hot drink for Siberians. https://t.co/qKxnX0dtut
