April 23 2013: Around Lugu Lake
 |
| Morning view from our room |
A day to “relax”, so we set out on another very
pleasant trek out along a peninsular ridge heading into the lake, past an
interesting old working farm with a water buffalo towing a traditional plough, up
on to the ridge, then along to a white stupa at the end which was a super
viewpoint of the lake. We had lovely clear blue sky to start, though it
clouded over as we walked.

| Ducklings! |

| Happy Tinnies! |

For a contrast, Jackson took us to a more
modern, rather big hotel for lunch - good food, but a weird, empty place that
brought memories of The Shining!
And then on to another boat trip to a small
Buddhist temple on an island out in the lake. Rather a lot of tourists, but a
pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

The best fun was coming home, where the helmsman
agreed to let us help him, dragon boat style, but with only 2 extra
paddles. I started, but quickly passed the paddle on to someone stronger, and
with Canadian canoeist Jeff on the other side , we creamed all the other boats
on the way home!
