We journeyed to the lakes today and they were spectacular! We took blankets and food and spent hours sitting by the water just chilling. Although it was fairly busy with people swimming a sunbathing but it was still very tranquil. I drew, sunbathed and began my second book oof the holiday (having finished To Kill a Mockingbird). Its called ‘The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August’ even though I am only a few chapters in I am already enjoying it very much.

This was the sort of place I could imagine sitting and chilling with the girlies. We would swim, listen to music bathe in the heat and explore. I fantasised about the picnics Ellie would make for us and how Ruby would drive us all around it until we found the perfect secluded spot.

Before leaving we went for a walk and drove to the top of a mountain to enjoy as much of the scenery we could before heading off. It was so wonderful I would happily live there (if there were any houses...). We stopped at a village on the way for some drinks before our long journey home. The café/restaurant was lush, it was really homely, and obviously a family owned and run type of place. It could easily have been a home and some of the décor looked like an old Spanish Grandmothers lifetime collection of bric-a-brac.   

When we got home we cleaned up a bit and went out for food. We were absolutely shattered and went to bed as soon as we got home.
