Turtles in their comfort zone!

Taken early this morning on the lake: lake Hopatcong.  Woke early and the light on the empty lake was lovely, but I just couldn’t get it right on camera!

We had a great breakfast of honey glazed sausages and scrambled eggs and it was decided that we would enjoy seeing the lake with a cruise.  The midday cruise included lunch.  We dressed quickly and went half way round the lake to pick up the Miss Lotta!  The lunch was great. I really enjoyed the cruise.  So many houses backing onto the lake!  One even had a small funicular to go from the main house down to the boat house!!  The buffet Lunch was provided by a local restaurant : Alice’s.  Yum!  Especially the brownie for afters!!  It was lovely on the cruise but once back on terra firma the heat hit us! 35°/95° depending which scale is used!  

We are back at my cousin’s in a very well air conditioned house!!  You look out and would love to go for a walk but the idea of the heat.....

A few extras: first thing, a swan going to Byram Cove, my cousin and her son and the bay on labour day, full of boats that come to Byram Cove to enjoy the calm waters!
