Swim Trek - Day 3

The SwimTrekkers had another wonderful breakfast of oatmeal, granola, fresh fruit and yogurt before our excursions began. We set off on a short bus ride to reach our first lake. Our first swim was beautifully quiet and still. Both groups swam the 3km distance with far more prowess than yesterday and really did us proud! Lots of fun and games were had by all en route: squid synchronised swimming, a D.I.S.C.O. singalong with uniformed dance moves and some seriously good formation technique. Oh and did I mention that we swam 3km non-stop?! 
We then jumped out of the water for a quick cup of hot chocolate and a seemingly endless supply of biscuits! We walked for an hour before reaching a wonderfully secluded campsite and feasted on a Hungarian goulash (hot over cobbles!) - much to our delight! 
The final 1km swim saw us safely to the other side of the lake before our final trek which covered some outrageously beautiful scenery! We've all just tucked into some much needed paella ready for a relaxing evening!
