Whilst it looks lovely, what these photos aren’t conveying is the noise being generated by the few hundred school children that were generally causing mayhem all over the place. For the most part they were all either screaming at each other or trying to throw anything that wasn’t physically attached to the ground into the lake. Or both at the same time. Many had taken to the rowing boats that you can just see in the bottom right of the photo, which afforded them the opportunity to scream at each other on the water and for those still on the land to throw things at the people in the boats.
On the whole, despite the beauty of the scene, being there was a generally thoroughly awful experience.
Still, it was lunchtime, so we popped into one of the restaurants for a bite to eat. Apparently children either don’t have their own money or are not permitted in the restaurants with the civilized grown-ups. Which was nice. What was also nice was that by the time we’d finished our lunch, almost all of the screaming hoards had cleared off to spoil somewhere else.
