Wall of text ahead.
Nearly time for us to head home, so again we were getting the last few bits. We decided yesterday that we wanted to try and go for another walk and see if we spot any more elk. I thought it would be a good idea if we left it till the lateish afternoon. Just as the sun was going down as that's when the elk seem to appear.
We had an easy chilled out morning again, we had lunch before we headed out.
We went to gallstad first, to have another look around the factory shops, they also have a shoe shop there too, so we had a look around. Sadly nothing in there was right, apart from the ones which are over £200!! Needless to say we didn't buy anything from there!
Before we went for our walk we wanted to have a quick wonder around Ulricehamn ,to get some bread and something to drink for the walk. We also wanted to see if we could find any shoe shops to see if I could get the boots. But sadly there was nothing there.
When we had finished looking around, we got ready and headed back to Komosse to see if we can spot any elk. By now it was about 4.30 and it had gotten a lot cooler.
So we got ready, coats, hats, gloves and scarves on! I even got a chance to use my gators which I got to take to the Falklands, but never used them!
Then the intrepid travelers set off!!! Everything was going so well, we headed over the road first to get some shots of the lake, and found elk tracks. The lake looked amazing so I got some photos.
We set off back across the road and down the track, the sun was going down quite fast now, and it really was getting colder. I was being attacked by bugs! For a change mag wasn't
I wanted to sit down and enjoy the silence, which was then ruined by some PPI company calling mags mobile! We then carried on walking down the foot path. Still no sign of an elk any where. In fact no signs of any wildlife at all.
I got some good shots of the surrounding and some mushrooms caught in the sunlight. Mag was taking to me and noticed something in my hair where I took my hat off, he went to grab it and it bit me! This is when things started to go down hill!
I asked what kind of bug it was mag could only say a big nasty on
e you don't want to know about, which creep me out a little. He then got bitten too. At this point it was starting to get dark and I didn't feel happy being in the woods in the dark, so we turned around and made our way back to the car. This was when I slipped and jarred my back and shoulder. So glad I didn't fall or drop the camera, thank heavens for neck straps!
We got back to the car and got rid of the walking gear, we felt fine until we got home. I went to sit on the laptop and update the blog and upload photos, when I felt something moving down my neck. Put my hand there and found it was one of the nasty bugs, which freaked me out. I managed to kill it, then mag sat down and said he thought he was just bitten by something when he checked he found one of the same bugs feasting on him! He killed it and it was full of blood. GROSS.......
At this point I flipped my lid and ran for a shower, I refused to have any of the clothes we had on for the walk in the same room as me, and they have now all been washed and checked for bugs!!! No idea what they were but they were nasty!
We had a chilled out evening once again, we had soup followed by a local meat which is the cuts offs of all the local cooked meats put in a pack. All different things. Will update about that soon.
