Lake of Banyoles, Spain



I am destiny's child today as it's time to hit the lake. I'm disappointed that it's forbidden to swim the length and breadth of the lake but I make do with an area roped off for public swimming.

The water is as clear as the mountain water from which it is fed and it's wonderfully warm. Lots and lots of fish join me for my swim. There's a bar further up the lake where you can pay to swim and listen to the once groovy sounds of Manu Chau. Boy, boy I'm such a snob sometimes.

I feel totally peopled out and return to our mountain top retreat. It's my turn to cook tonight so I buy a couple of kilos of salmon and some tasty looking prawns.
