We really felt like we were on vacation in Italy on today's tour! 😊👌🏖☀️ Super nice paths around the Edersee, mostly along the shore or with a direct view from above!!! 🤗🤗🤩
There was still time for swimming and eating! Simply a super nice day to switch off from everyday life!☺

You'll have to brighten your screen for the pictures. The weather today, with its fog and drizzle, wasn't much better.
