That's what the water gave me

'When an option presents to be on the water, one should never refuse the feeling of total freedom'


Are these even words of a famous quote? I don't know, but they as sure as hell are so very true. And better said, you should never wait on an option to present itself, you should create it yourself! So when beautiful late summer days are predicted, you should take advantage of it and get your %ss outside. At least that is what I always tell myself.

I decided to hit the water again on the Vierwaldstättersee



But Karin, weren't you also on a boat there last week?

Yes indeed, my friends! But that was in the evening when the clouds were dark and mystique, yet today is a day like it is vacation!!


Now I know what you are thinking, how can this girl afford all of this nonsense?



Well first of all, I find that you should spend your money on experiences and not on stuff but that is just a matter of everybodies own priority. But the secret to this boattrip is that it is just the local ferry that I was enjoying!


LakeLucerne


That is right! The ferry that sometimes here in the area is faster to use than taking a train of a bus is just a super pleasant experience! You bring your stuff to eat or drink on board, or you can buy your stuff on board if you would want to do so. When having a halbtaxcard here (that is like a train discount card what every Swiss person almost has) a daycard for on the lake is only 36 Francs (so also about 36 Dollars that is)

With this card you can hop on and off of all the boats that are passing, and you just disembark whenever you feel like it! So initially my idea was to go from Lucerne all the way to Flüelen, which would take around 2.5 hours one way trip. Boat around Brunnen we all got hungry and decided to go for some food and a drink.

Aperol Spritz, do you know it?



It's like a combination of Aperol, sparkling water and prosecco. Damn refreshing, and 1 of these is totally enough for you!

Apart from that I did not see too much of Brunnen but the sea-side. Ow yeah, and a ridiculous amount of lambo's passing by. Did bitconnect have a thing here or so? ;)))




It is crazy how just sitting at the water and looking at all the people who are passing by can give you such a feeling of having vacation. But it is just a regular Saturday! Isn't that perfect? And lets be honest, if you just stare at the water for hours, how can you not be happy??

I also saw some kitesurfers in the distance by Sisikon, a place that is notorious for kitesurfing. Hmmmmm, maybe I should think about getting a full body wetsuit and gives these skills a go again. What do you think??

Coming across these beautiful houses makes me think somewhere in a far far faaaaar away future when crypto will moon and I could have a place like this to invite all my family and friends to. Let me dream about that for now with some 'Thats what the water gave me' in the background

Hahahha something went wrong in your posts man, they came up all separate!

Lake superior already sounds like its super awesome, canadian nature is also truly beautiful!

It's been a while since I've been on Steemit, and for all the reasons you just summed up in your post. I just love the life outside more than the one behind the Mac. Enjoy your time out there, because it looks so fabulous. Staring at the water for hours with the mountains in the back... is there anything better to do? Don't thinks so. Yes I'm jealous, but my daydreams are the same. One day I might be able to buy a gettaway house in a place like that, thanks to Crypto. :-)

oeee, if we can only make that happen dude!

Indeed, summer is not for computering it is for spending outside indeed! The evenings are really getting shorter here already, so that is again inviting for some typing, but during the day with nice weather?? nehhhh, outside playing time!

Good to see you back!

Thanks! During the dark and cold days I will slightly recover from my Steemit-dip. Posts like yours will help for sure. And the Aperol Spritz is the ideal drink to enjoy those magnificent mountain views. :-)

I love the water and what a perfect day to be out on it! It does look like you are on vacation! I too would rather collect experiences rather than things. It is what brings me joy, to live life to the fullest and not worry about material things...

It also really felt like I was on vacation. I love to spend weekends in a way that is memorable. Actually, not it is sunday evening and i really feel like i had vacation as well hahahah!

Material stuff is just convenient, but sooo not a must!

1 WORD: JEALOUS !!!!
