Love for water, cooling down, late night swim, city lights, taking in the sun, BBQ's on the lake, relatives, jumping in first thing in the morning, water sports, games and sunsets
Living in Zurich for the past few years allowed me to be close to a lake all year round. I absolutely love water, in whatever form it comes. It has such a calming and soothing effect, I could watch and listen to it for hours.
But what do I actually do during summer on the lake? Let me share a few things with you.
One thing that's on the agenda almost daily is probably obvious. Taking a swim to cool down from the hot weather. 💦 From my apartment it only takes about 4 minutes to reach the lake where I can easily have access to the water.
Often I even go to the lake in the evening, at around 9 or 10pm, to jump in and enjoy the cooler temperatures. In late summer the lake's temperatures can get pretty warm and it doesn't feel like a refreshment anymore during the day.
The sight at night is very beautiful too, with all the lights lit up from the city. 🌃
Other times I just enjoy a good book or listen to music while taking in the sun on the meadow right on the lake. We also like to do a BBQ on the lake and play card games,
And probably my favourite part? Visiting my relatives in July who have a vacation home directly on the lake. There's nothing better than waking up and being able to directly jump into the water for a morning swim! This definitely wakes you up. 😉 Oh and let's not forget the morning round of wake boarding and getting all muscles sore! 🏄🏼♀️
But also all the times we play games on the meadow, go stand up paddling, sitting on the patio until late and playing card games or just enjoy each others company by talking.
We often also take the boat and drive to a restaurant on the water somewhere around the lake which is pretty nice. And of course the sunsets on the water are just the best! 🌅
So yes, I think you may have guessed that I do love warm weather and being outside somewhere at or on the water. The cold definitely ain't for me. 😁 Except if there's a winter wonderland to admire, then I am willing to deal with the cold. 😉
Sabbu ❤️
