Tonight's picture perfect campspot.
|
We’ve had a cracker of a day, with lots happening. The bikes
came out first thing and we cycled about 3 kms into Ystad on a great cycle
path. Locked our bikes to a bike stand and then had a wander around this rather
delightful old town, with its half-timbered houses and cobbled streets. The
main street is pedestrian only and people were out just wandering around or
having breakfast at the cafes. The shops didn’t open until 10 and then everything
hummed. Lots of bikes and intrigued with a convoy of three that appeared to be
from a preschool, each bike had a large bin in the front with three wheels and
held 4 children. A bit like the old grocer’s delivery bikes. Checked out a
haberdashery shop for knitting yarn but not a huge selection. Back to camp, and
after a coffee we headed off.
We needed to empty our waste water and fill with fresh water
and it seems to be less simple to find than in other countries especially when
we are not staying at designated camp grounds. We were heading north and found
a place on our route on Park4Night and got Jilly organised.
Today’s drive took us through a lot of farming and cropping
land, mainly wheat and grain. And everywhere there were trees. Very
picturesque. Stopped on the way for a late lunch then found the rest area where
we emptied our tanks but no fresh water. A local sent us about a km down the
road to a fuel station where we were able to use their fresh water, and we also
put some diesel in the tank….ouch!!! Heard tonight that Sweden has the highest
fuel price in Europe!! And spotted a motorhome store in town and time to stock
up on chemicals for the toilet.
Then it was onto Krokas, another P4N find, and what a spot.
It’s the most delightful little old fishing harbour which the camping site
overlooks. Picture perfect and so peaceful. The sun was shining and we chatted
to some of the other campers. Then the thunder came in and it started to rain.
Still very nice to be sitting in the van looking out to sea.

Last night it looked like we were in for a storm
but nothing eventuated.
