Day 10: Reading, lounging, swimming

When I suggested spending the day here, my family initially thought I was feeling unwell. But there was no strong objection either. I just find it very beautiful here, with the view stretching across wildflower meadows and forests to the mountains on the coast, and there is a heavenly calm that is only occasionally interrupted by the tinkle of cowbells. In the afternoon, we went for a long swim in the nearby lake.
