To use this elevator we had to pay a few pennies to take us to the upper town from where we had a good view of the harbor with Diesel Duck swinging on her mooring.
Toward the end of the week a visit to one of the many shopping malls was on our agenda. It held an ice rink inside with many kids happily skating while outside the temperature was 95F (35C). What a nice idea to drop your kids off for some fun while you go shopping.
A funny incident happened later at the very large fantastic European Delicatessen store "Perini", where we found wonderful freshly baked loaves of onion bread. I wanted to buy enough loaves to fill up the freezer. Plenty to last us weeks, basically cleaning out the shelf. But the sales lady close by became very angry. Now she had nothing more to display and she almost came after me with a bread knife, as I raced in a hurry between the isles with my stash loaded up in the shopping cart toward the cashier. Benno poured some oil on the fire by saying: " Hurry, hurry, I think she is following us!" Outside we grabbed a cab and rushed back to the boat.
