Tuscany 2017 - Day 2

Sunday, 16 July 2017

06:14 am: Quick trip to the toilet and then back to sleep.

10:00 a.m.: After Lisa got up half an hour ago, I'm going to greet the day after lounging around for a while.

Sun, 27°C, a gentle breeze, the breakfast table is already set, oh, life is beautiful. Lizards run around during the day, butterflies and other creatures crawl and fly around. An absolutely beautiful spot on earth here. Che bello!

Far, far away you can hear the sound of engines from the motocross track, the wind roars, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, through the surrounding trees, and I lie by the pool under the canopy and doze off.

Lisa has found a shady spot under the trees on a lower level of the site and is already reading her second book. Today's plan is clear: do nothing and jump into the pool .

The pool is not big, but it is big enough for the five of us and it is filled with salt water. And you can't hear the circulation pumps at all. So it won't disturb your night's rest (as we feared).

So we have arrived at the snack and the discussion about what we want to do in the evening or where we want to go for dinner.

There is a steak festival in Palaia today (Sunday). It is supposed to be good, but very crowded. So we go to the Ristorante Il Pettirosso . Lisa only has prosciutto e melon and a chocolate ice cream and snacks with the rest of us. I take Christian's recommendation from last year and get a tagliata con funghi porcini - very, very good.

Then at home we had another bottle of Chianti reserva on the terrace and went to bed at 00:40.

The K's are still struggling with the house dog, who forces himself into the apartment and doesn't want to go out. After a lot of effort and half an hour, they can finally go to sleep.
