Buon giorno Malcesine! Yes, I’m posting “early”; I had a great sleep (thanks for asking) feel completely recovered from my exhausting day yesterday and am ready for more Mothing. Today is Day Three of the Worlds but it’s an “off” day; a reserve/break between the first two days which were qualifiers and the next three days which are the World Championship regatta itself.
Despite being an off day I am most definitely going to be off sailing, and can’t wait. Today I will wear my helmet and my life jacket, I will have no trouble launching from the beach, and I will [hopefully] have a working boat. We are going to spend some quality time together figuring ourselves out so we can work as a team when the racing resumes.
Blue skies mean wind later? This is Mount Baldo, the local peak; there is a cable car up to the top and when the sailing is all over I will most definitely go up there…
A little more food blogging. Last night I voyaged to Riva de Garda, a town at the North end of the lake, and a beautiful one at that. It features an “old town” right down on the water, and I found the coolest piazza for dinner. La cena era Cotoletta alla Milanese aka Wiener Schnitzel con Amarone della Valpolicella – molto deliziosa.
Many people out on a Friday night, perfect for peoplewatching.
There is a funicular up to the Bastione, a fort which looks out over the city, and riding it up is now on my bucket list.
Well, the wind is coming up, time to go sailing … please stay tuned!
