To follow on from the earlier Christmas Day post here are just a few shots to record our lazy Christmas Day.
After a late breakfast we walked along the waterfront under clear blue skies and in brilliant sunshine.
We then took in the gondolas to the crest of the hill above the town for these gorgeous views.
Lunch and dinner were simple affairs in the room: bread, cheese, salad, olives, fruit and wine…a far cry from the usual heavy ham and turkey and it took only minutes to prepare.
The evening was closed out by another pleasant walk around the waterfront. A lovely peaceful day.
Looks and sound idyllic Mark - and I guess the ares is pretty quiet at the moment - the hordes will descend in the next day or two, when, I suspect, you may be heading in the opposite direction?
ReplyDeleteIt is busier than I expected and a surprising number of places were open too. We head back on the 28th.
DeleteI’m not jealous… not one little bit… honest.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views indeed…
All the best. Aly
Oh it is stunning here…that said sometimes I yearn for a white Christmas.
DeleteWow, that is stunning and frankly my sort of way to spend Xmas!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a welcome break from the normal Christmas “fuss”.
DeleteI hope the good weather last as my daughter is trekking in the mountains nearby
ReplyDeleteWeather is gorgeous the last three days. A bit of ran expected tonight, but otherwise good for a bit longer too.
DeleteWhat great weather, and a terrific spread for Christmas day. There's a lot to be said for the no fuss approach.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little cooler today, but still very pleasant. Yes that simple lunch and dinner was refreshing…no need to spend hours cooking then have the disapproving looks across the table because something is not to their satisfaction. Home tomorrow, sadly, but at least there are toys to paint and still another seven days off.
