A quiet day in Ystad. Everyone got up about 7.30 and had breakfast, and then sat around talking for a couple of hours. Most of us then walked into the town, since the camp site is 2 kilometers out of town.
The town of Ystad is about 20,000 people. It's on the coast so there is quite a strong sea breeze at times with a cool temp. The centre of the town is touristy with lots of cafes. The town is best known for its half timbered houses, some of which date from the 16th century. There are plenty of streets with cobbles, and no cars in the central town which makes for pleasant wandering about.
We walked back to camp about 2 pm along the beach front, but it isn't really that nice since the kelp on the beach is rotting and the odour is quite strong. Plenty of little bathing sheds right on the beach front which the locals own.
The afternoon was spent relaxing at camp. Dinner was baked potatoes cooked on the charcoal BBQ with baked fish and coleslaw, followed by fresh strawberries and wine supplied by some random Swedish couple who liked the idea of people riding across Europe and turned up with a cask of white wine.
The camp is full of mostly Swedish people who are having a holiday in their large caravans with awnings, beautifully furnished, packed in side-by-side at the campground.
A cool day, often the threat of rain which fortunately did not eventuate.
