Swiss national day

Today was perfect, hot, not a cloud in the sky, and the water in Zürichsee is finally good for swimming, nearly 25°C. 31°C in the air, but when you're in the sun like we were it is much, much hotter. I think I might have burned a bit, since "sunscreen is for wimps". Probably not one of my better quotes.

Every time I come down to the bridge, seeing my boat there amongst all others, I feel so lucky. There I am, a foreigner, having a boat in the middle of the city. How cool is not that?

Took a pic of my Swiss flag, but it didn't cooperate fully, it was a wee bit windy. But if you look closely, you can see that there is still snow on the top of the mountains.

We were swimming like crazy, one of my guests were a real water-person, she spent more time in the water than in the boat. And she was the spitting image of a previous guest, only younger. Mind you, she was the daughter of the former guest, "only with the boobs higher up" as she was described.
