Turquoise lake view

Wow. We haven't had breakfast with such a view this vacation.

The campsite is built in terraces and we look out from one of the upper terraces through the trees to the lake. This lake is one of those things you have to look at all the time and can't believe. It's just turquoise and sparkling, and you immediately want to jump in and drift.

We also quickly declare the campsite the best of our vacation. It is wonderfully green and so beautifully laid out that you feel completely undisturbed. The lady at the reception is also super nice and speaks fluent German. That makes it much easier for some questions. It's not even 50 m to the lake.

We spend the morning on our idyllic spot and bring the blog up to date. Then we look down at the lake. The pebble beach is not quite as cozy as with sand, but the lake makes up for it. The water is still incredibly turquoise and refreshingly beautiful.

The change from seawater is also good for us. We spend a cozy bathing afternoon at the lake and in the evening we make our way back to the Jumper. On the way through the campsite, we count two Austrians, one Swiss and one Dutchman, the rest of the fully occupied site are Germans, somehow funny.

In the evening, we look up to the village, which is less than two minutes away from us. It's really small, but quite pretty. Chrissi read somewhere that the village of Les Salles sur Verdon was flooded and completely disappeared when the lake was dammed. Instead, today's village was simply rebuilt a few meters further away.

After ten minutes of walking, we have seen the entire village and walk back home for dinner.

After dinner, we decide to stay here for a few more days for sure, with a beer in hand.
