Having the luxury of a proper campsite, we decided to stay for three nights and take today as rest day. As the sun came up it became clear that the weather had improved considerably and the sun was shining. However this did not last very long and the day soon became dull but with only a few spots of rain, which decided to fall as soon as we went for a walk around the lake.
Fortunately only a little rain fell and Jane had brought most of the washing in. When drying conditions are poor, Jane uses a method of clothes drying recommended by some fellow motorhomers that we met earlier in the Odyssey – put all of the clothes on a clothes horse in the bathroom open the window slightly, close the door and put the heating on. The method given to us used the gas heating and involved shutting all other vents in the van so that all of the heat is directed to the bathroom. We have developed a variation of the technique by using an electric fan heater in the bathroom. This is very effective and dries the washing quite quickly – 'where there's a will, there's a way'.
Tonight there is a glorious sunset and this is followed by a clear starry evening sky. We hope that this is an even better sign for tomorrow!
