26/06/08 - Camping by a nudist beach.

The majority of today was spent relaxing about at the summer home.
The wind could have been a little quieter, but it was all very
peaceful.

We did venture out onto the water in the row boat for a little bit of
exercise, but once out of the sheltered area and into the full force
of the wind, we decided the little row boat, and our novice rowing
arms weren't quite cut out for waves of any size. It was quite
entertaining watching poor Marea row against the wind and not move
anywhere for 5 minutes.

Come the evening it was time to walk back out of the wilderness to the
van and continue heading up the coast. Thank you very very much
Birgetta, Linn, Yohan, Simon and Peter for your fantastic hospitality
in Ostersund and at your summer house. It has been a wonderful start
to the Swedish leg of our journey.

The plan was to make it up to the Skuleskogen National Park via the
tourist route but we stopped enroute in the very pretty fishing
village of Norrfällsviken. We found our perfect spot for the night
right next to a secluded and beautiful beach. So secluded, it turned
out to be a naturists beach!! But the holiday season doesn't appear
to have started yet, as there was no one else to share the "no
textiles" beach with :-)
