I’ve spent so much time in the water today I’m turning prunish. Up this morning and Chris and I walked along the beach to the restaurant just down from us for our morning cappuccino. Chris tried to swim down but only got half way…I carried the money overland!! Got back after coffee and Dennis and Jane still hadn’t appeared so into the bathers and we had a long, long swim. We were the only ones on the beach, the water was crystal clear and so warm its like hopping into a bath. It was gorgeous. When we were down having coffee we booked a table for lunch. So came back up, dried off and very soon after headed off for lunch. I had ravioli stuffed with crustaceans…so delicious. Everyone had some variation on the seafood theme…delicious. We lingered over lunch, walked back and straight back into the water for another long, lovely swim.
Dennis and Jane have gone into town to pick up supplies. Tomorrow is the Ferragosto holiday in Italy, all the restaurants around are booked out and everything else is closed so we’re on our own in the catering department!! It’s nice having some quiet time while they shop.
Its 5pm and the storm clouds are rolling in which seems to happen in the evening. Its rather splendid to watch. It poured last night along with thunder and lightning but the days are hot, cloudless and beautiful…perfect!! I discovered today that my excitement about the internet will be short lived. It is Dennis who brought his portable router with him so when he goes so will my reliable internet access. They will probably be here until Sunday. Then Chris and I leave the following Saturday. I will go down to Lecce on Monday until Saturday.
I’ll end here for another day, the sky remains a constant source of interest with occasional lightning and thunder, a few spots of rain, but still warm.
Lots of love XXXXX
