A day to relax

We had a slow start to the day having enjoyed a lovely dinner the night before and now looking forward to breakfast which was quite a large affair with a very large choice of cold and hot with supplies of donuts and various fruits and breads.

The weather is due to change later in the day and so we discussed what we wanted to do and one thing was the washing as we have been on the road for ten days and cud do with some clothes freshening up. Mum found a Lavateria about five minutes walk away and so off she went while Noel another half hour in the room on personal matters and then joined Jennifer where we sat for about 40 minutes waiting for the washer to finish and the dryer to complete its mission and so by about 1300 all was complete and we had also done some small food shopping at the Coop and having returned the washing to the room we went lakeside and Jennifer made up some sandwiches which tasted great as we watched all the nearly hundreds of wind surfers charging by and in the distant lots of little sailing boats getting blown around. Apparently at the top end of the lake is the windiest by far so people come from far and wide to enjoy their favourite sport but some of the speeds these people get up to is frightening.


Noel took quite a few photos which he will edit when he gets a chance and put on the daily blog and smug mug

We went back to the Hotel for about an hour and then went to a restaurant we had seen earlier which looked popular and when we got there all the table were full and a queue of about 30 people and we decided we would not wait and went elsewhere where we could get a seat quite quickly and the restaurant was pretty crowded and the food was fine accept for there was far to much food, no wonder the Italians are large. Following dinner another short walk and then we sat and watched the lake as the light came down and the lights of the houses on the surrounding mountains went on and then two ferries arrived and dropped their passengers and off they went.

By this time it was looking like rain but we went back to hotel and Noel hooked up the PC to the TV and we watched some you tube stuff and shortly afterwards the rain started. Boy  did it rain overnight what with large chunks of lighting and lots of thunder.

And so to bed after a nice quiet day as tomorrow we hit the road again towards Innsbruck.
