Euro Day 39 - Island Idle - Part 1

Thursday, 1 August 2019

After about 37 days above 25 degrees, we've finally hit a cool patch. It's been 18 degrees and a bit like Bruny Island on a blustery Tasmanian day today. Not condusive to the swimming, boating and fishing that we had imagined when we booked this trip.  

But it hasn't been bad. We've had a pretty nice day relaxing around the house. I read most of my fantastic book (The Nazi Officer's Wife - I thoroughly recommend it), we have almost done a 1000 piece puzzle, I did a few loads of hand washing (no washing machine here), we strolled around the island, and had tacos for dinner.  Now we are playing cards.  So pretty lovely really. 

Here's a selection of photos from the day (some of these are Jackie's taken with her fancy camera).
