• Another quiet lakeside

    Like a pair of migrating wildebeest we do seem to gravitate toward waterside park ups. We arrived after a pleasant uneventful drive and immediately went for a walk around the lake. It wasn’t a huge one so we walked around the perimeter in under an hour. Met a nice friendly French man with his old lassie dog. Had to keep Bliss on lead as there were signs saying “Cyanobacteria present” in the water which is dangerous for dogs and people.
    Darren got a couple of nice pics around the lake but nothing to match the last couple of days.. On returning we retired to the van when we suddenly realised how many mosquitoes were buzzing around waiting to feed on any unsuspecting victims. Tried the citrus candle as a deterrent but it didn’t seem to work. Laying on the bed before it got dark I was quite disturbed to see hundreds of them hanging around above the skylight like they knew we were there and were just waiting to pounce.. 😳😬
    The noise of the frogs was simply ridiculous… don’t believe me? Watch the short video below.
