Day Twenty Seven Monday 15th August
Our overnight site was so beautiful that had it not been for the lack of facilities we would happily have stayed another night. We set off in the hope that we might find a site in a similar location somewhere around the lake .
Our first stop was at Mora, at the north end of the lake. We couldn't find the Tourist Office, and weren't impressed by what we could see of the busy town, so moved on round the lake to Rattvik. Here we had success, finding a TIO with wifi and lots of useful information. There is plenty of interest in the area. As a result we came straight to the site we are now settled at for a couple of nights. It is as perfect as can be for our needs. In Tallberg, right on the lake, and not big. It's a pretty smart place which, according to Lonely Planet, has eight upmarket hotels ( but small and discreet) to its 200 residents. LP waxes lyrical, describing it as "tiny Tallberg...cuteness personified with its smattering of gingerbread houses". A bit OTT, but it is very attractive. How wonderful to have a really nice, simple campsite in such a lovely place.We have a pitch at the front with an uninterrupted view over the lake through the now familiar well spaced out silver birches and pines I had a dip - a bit chilly - followed by a hot shower. Bliss! And G seems to have managed to cover 8 miles + in his pre-breakfast and pre-supper walks.
We are now watching the sun set over the lake. There's enough breeze for there to be small waves on the lake, and the sound of the water lapping on the shore just completes the perfect setting. Glad we are booked for another night.
