Thunderbolt and lightning

Not quite. Had just reached the bottom of a massive mountain road and arrived in a town, which minutes earlier had been a small patch of buildings in the valley, to be greeted by raindrops. Bloody big ones and lots of them.  We pulled over to shelter until it passed over. There were a few flashes of lightning and claps of thunder and quite a deluge for a while. Looking at the way we were heading, I thought it unlikely it would stop any time soon, so took the decision to don the waterproofs. It seems Sanch would happily have got wet, from the abuse I've had but still put his on! And so we carried on.
