Day 10 Kayaking on Lake Como

What a glorious day. 25C and sunshine. What a shame we spent the morning filling in docs for the sale of our house. At least that’s done.

We then ventured down to Al Puunt when they had real kayaks - not the cheap plastic ones. What an adventure. The lake looked calm, but being Saturday it was teeming with boat and ferries. Between wakes and backwash it was rock & roll non stop for 2 hours. We made it from Griante as far as Seconda Spiaggia, passing by Tremezzo where there seemed be some kind of celebration going on - lovely ladies in stilettos and music blasting. Can’t believe we didn’t get an invitation.

On route home we tried out a new path up to our place. It was super steep so Pete said he’d check it out and report back. I waited quite a while - at least from my perspective- then decided to head up the hill also. I didn’t see him, so after about 20 minutes I turned around, and while heading down ventured into a lovely cemetery. Not only were there monuments, but photos of each deceased person. From there I must have headed down the wrong path as I ended up back near our kayak place. Yikes, I now had to trek back about 20 minutes along the road. Peter met me along the way - not too pleased - saying he’d been searching all over for me. Lesson learned - when asked to wait, I guess I should wait.

A quick stop at our local mini mart where the lady speaks English and we’re now sitting on the balcony enjoying the view. We’ve eaten out twice, so will be eating in again tonight. Good thing Italian food is so easy to prepare - lots of pizza & pasta.Читать далее
