Monday 5 August 2013 - Ivrea



We were up early.  Terry left early to go the rowing course.  Sharney and I had breakfast, and then we went with some of the “rowing widows” for a drive in to the town of Ivrea to look around.  We stopped at a little café for coffee.  The town is very old with some beautiful buildings as well as a castle.  We enjoyed looking at the shops.  Many of the shops are closed between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm for siesta.  The cobblestones were difficult at times but there were some smooth footpaths.  We watched some of the kayaking which was on a course beside the river. 

We returned to our hotel for a nap then later had drinks with the ladies in the hotel’s courtyard.  When Terry and the others returned from the rowing, we had a delicious dinner in the hotel’s dining room.
