Orta - Last meal and departure

We had our last dinner together at the Olina Restaurant in town. Many courses, accompanied by wine as always, were beautifully presented (peaches with prosciutto, risotto with asparagus, saffron tortelloni and saffron, sirloin steak and tiramisu. The steak was cooked very rare on a sizzling hot stone brought to the table. We exchanged little gifts with our buddies. Some of the gifts, and some of the presentations, were very clever.
The next morning we gathered for breakfast in pretty room with a panoramic view of the town and lake. We began to leave in groups of 2 and 3 as our taxis arrived to take us to airports and train stations.
