A walk to the waterfalls

A few miles inland from Nidri is a series of waterfalls. We set off after breakfast – the walk took about an hour. The falls make the air feel very fresh.

We had a drink at the little bar at the foot of the waterfall, then made our way back to the coast and had a nice lunch at the port. Just as we were ready to leave the wind got up and the skies darkened. 20 minutes later a thunderstorm started, wind howling through the rigging of the yachts. Lots of chatter on the VHF – felt sorry for all the flotilla skippers on day 1 of their holidays – mooring must have been very difficult.

These storms are not uncommon the spring and autumn – they often pass as suddenly as they arrive.
