And it really does change fast. Both Jennifer and I awoke in the night to hear very strong winds,(no it wasn’t the salad), coming up over the lake and hitting the tall trees behind us.
This strong wind continued for most of the day and a lot of people who had come for the weekend and intent on staying around until the end of the day decided to leave for home a bit earlier than planned.
We started chatting to a youngish couple, who had a lar
ge tent and boat, about the site etc and he mentioned that the view in town is that tourism is down by more than twenty five percent but he felt it was more like thirty five percent. This was based upon a comment from a friend of his who works for the very good tour operator Real Journeys, he said that some of the people are scared of losing their jobs as there are not enough tourists to take around.
We took a walk around the camp site and took some photos before walking in to town to take some more photos along the lake side and also in town. The strong winds and extra cloud cover means that the photos are not at bright as they could be. The town was fairly quiet and once again the ‘Vacancy’ signs were up everywhere.
After about a three kilometre walk we arrived back in the camp site in time for a cup of coffee and catch up with preparing the photos for upload. We then took a quick drive down to the town to the internet shop where we can use the notebook computer and started uploading the photos on our Phanfare Photo Blog and also update the regular Blogger BLOG.
We have also arranged for our camp sites in
The wind today has been quite something and blowing at about 40 miles per hour at times but our positioning of the tent meant that it was little affected although just as we prepared for bed it started to rain.
Jennifer cooked Spaghetti Bolognaise tonight and we relented at the last moment and purchased a bottle of red wine, well it is Sunday.
