On returning “home” (doesn’t that sound great!),
you’ll have time to lounge by the heated swimming pool,
sip a glass of wine or cider outdoors, take a nap,
or just pinch yourself to make sure you really aren’t dreaming.
Later, you get dressed and have a leisurely dinner at a cozy little restaurant
in a beautiful nearby village.
A wonderful end to a perfect day! (B, D)
