Drinking beer in a kayak, while enjoying the setting sun! 16/365-day blog challenge

in #travel7 years ago

Hey Steemit,

Today will be my last day in Porto Santo Stefano! We had a great time, but I am also happy to continue our journey to Limone sul Garda. This is a beautiful picturesque town on the shore of lake Garda, with only 1200 inhabitants!

Today we visited the beautiful city center for the last time (bittersweet...)!

Evacuating the house

But, we are not there yet! We have still one more day to enjoy in the beautiful Porto Santo Stefano! However, it will take us ages to clear the beach house we rented, hahaha. We traveled with 2 cars, which were fully crammed with all our stuff! And as expected... we bought some extra things; souvenirs, liquor, and olive oil among others things. So... it will be a real challenge to make everything fit in our cars again, hahaha.

An other typical shot I made in the city center. With the iconic Italian Fiat!

The holiday classics

As always we did the usual swimming, snorkeling, shopping and (our personal favorite) kayaking! This time we decided to row to the bay at around 06:00 p.m., so we could look upon the port by setting sun. The perfect closing of our week in Porto Santo Stefano.

We took our kayaks for a final trip, to finish our last beers with the most amazing view!

Dolphins

After we finished our beers, we kayaked back to our beach house and had our last diner, here at Porto Santo Stefano. Then the unexpected happend! We saw dolphins!!! Or at least dolphin-like creatures! It was soooooo an amazing, it created a whole majestic vibe, hahaha. I tried to capture their awesomeness with my iphone 5s, but as usual it failed me.

See them rollin', or should I say swimmin'

Tomorrow

The dolphins were the perfect closer for our holiday (and the absolute highlight, hahaha)! Tomorrow we will be traveling to Limone sul Garda. This will be a 6-8 hour drive, depending on the traffic. Probably it will be very, VERY busy... So I am expecting a 2-3 hour delay.

This is an amazing challenge! I dont know if i could do this myself :) If only there was another travel challenge on steemit going on right now.... hint hint

@goldmatters, Thank you! I will check it out, hahaha!

@goldmatters, unfortunately I won't travel to any of your locations... I will go to Florence, Limone sul Garda, Munich and afterwards to the Netherlands, are you perhaps interested in any of those locations?
Cool challenge though!
