Up a narrow winding dirt path to find a wonderful spot for the night right underneath an old windmill. Now restored to its original condition by charitable donations this beautiful quaint windmill has stood high on the hillside since 1716. In the UK we’d all have to pay £££’s to visit, but it’s just here for two wanderers and a husky to rock up and stay the night for free.
It’s pretty hot and humid today and so quiet here that we decided an outdoor shower would be nice 😊...and it really was. Luckily nobody turned up in the middle of it, could have been very embarrassing 😳. Sorry everyone, I didn’t get any pics of Darren in his budgie smugglers. 😜
After the impromptu shower a couple of people did turn up to take pictures of the windmill so we timed it well.
Bliss was happy laying in the shade of the van staying cool 😎 for the afternoon. We were hoping for an opportunity to get some amazing sunset pics of the windmill but unfortunately we weren’t the only ones with that idea. A family turned up and set up a picnic with their two young children right underneath the windmill. Darren didn’t feel comfortable taking photos with the family there, can’t really do that sort of thing in this day and age. But would have made for some lovely pictures with the little girls in their pretty summer dresses picking wild flowers under the shadow of the windmill.
They left just in time to get a few pics of the sunset and the lighthouse lit up and Darren was more than happy with those.
In the evening as it got dark and quiet we were treated to a distant thunderstorm that lit up the far hills. A lovely quiet nights sleep was had here.
In the morning we were surprised by a girl walking past with her two dogs and her pet goat! The goat was not on a lead, just behaving exactly like a dog walking alongside her like it was the most normal thing in the world.Lue lisää
