A Change in the Weather

Here in Riva, yesterday saw a change in the weather. The rain went away and the clouds started to clear quite early.

We took a leisurely stroll along the the lakeside path to Torbole, taking about an hour. This is a very easy paved walk which takes you past the bathing beaches and the watersports schools which line the path. The area is famous for its wind-surfing and is used for many world class competitions as well as yacht racing.
By the time we reached Torbole the sky was clear and thee temperature had risen into the mid twenties Celcius. We had a drink in a beach cafe before walking back to Riva for lunch at Cristallo's a cafe/bar overlooking the ferry port. They serve the most amazing gelati here.

After all this strenuous activity we had an afternoon siesta before dinner at the hotel, a few games of cards (Ann on as usual) and then an early bed. Wow all this relaxation is so tiring.
