Another faulpelz day.. some errands in the morning leading to more appointments..Seriously!! who'd think I'm retired?
I greedily absorb the serenity of the lake during breakfast with Lukas which sets the tone for the rest of the day -- being faulpelz is the BEST!
A swim in the lake later in the evening (no swans today, a neighbor brings in a BIG DOG who loves jumping in the water and making splashes!) I've learnt my lesson from yesterday and get out quickly.
For a faulpelz, I even manage to cook daal-subzi-roti. Cravings can make one do wonders!!

Yeahhh.. I'm a week old in Switzerland already. Time sure flies..
Some paperwork for Residence permit in the Morgen (morning) and we're off to Lucerne to find Shoes for him.
One would assume it to be the easiest of all tasks, but since we love window shopping, we end up finding the right pair only at the 10th and last Shoe Store in Lucerne! Thank Goodness!
After a nice lunch (albeit served by a grumpy German hostess), I'm drawn to a chocolate shop nearby... Ummmm fresh chocolates are DIVINE.. I wonder why i filled up my stomach with the panini sandwich 
Soon we're on our way to Meggen. After a quick stop at the flower shop, Lukas decides that we should return home by driving around Lake Lucerne. It's a beautiful day and the lake offers amazing views against the varied backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Thankfully we're driving behind a slow tourist car from Germany, so i can enjoy the views even more. Lukas feels he will fall asleep behind the wheel if we drive any slower ;) (Ain't i glad i never learnt to drive stick shift!!)
I can't resist the calling of the cool waters of the lake and we head out for a swim.. The water temp is ~22C, refreshingly perfect on a hot day like today. Soon some guests stop by with their baby. We swim/float with the swans for a bit till they bid us goodbye.
Everyone else steps out of the water after ~10mins.. but I can't let go of the refreshing feeling and decide to stay. An hour ticks by and soon i start to shiver uncontrollably - now i realize why they left
Back in the balcony with a glass of wine and Life has never felt this Good before!!!!

No Blog either ;)

Morning has broken... in such a divine way with the Moon still peeping through! We soak in the beauty and bask in the morning light for a few minutes. It's just 5AM. Still sleepy eyed, I get back to catching up on my zzzzs..
I snooze for another 3 hours on the pretext of Jetlag, but in reality I'm just being a Faulpelz all morning while Lukas continues to work on the wedding bands in his workshop.
