day 5 – Swimming

June 28, 2015

Around the lake here the light really brings out the colour in things, it’s like we’re walking around in a picture postcard.
It’s very exotic here, palm trees, cicadas, the atmosphere more Mediterranean than Alpine and it’s a bit of a culture shock.
Another day of finding our feet, looking around our village Variano, and the lake from far off and close up. The good weather has brought out all the weekend boaters, the speed boats, motor cruisers, yachts, day cruisers and the ferry doing the rounds of the lake.
We have learnt some italian; Spiaggia Pubblica. The Casa Iguana at San Nazzaro is now our beach headquarters where we go for a swim to round up the day.
