Lake Enol and Lake Ercina

We went for a walk around Lake Ercina (the two pictures below) and Lake Enol (the picture with Frank on the left). It was a beautiful area and obviously very very popular as if we had tried to go any earlier in the season we would have had to pay Euro 7 each to go on one of the many buses as they close the road to private vehicles.

At far end of Lake Ercina was a stone hut which still appeared to be in use, at least there was an elderly lady wearing a pinafore there talking to some Americans as we passed. She appeared to have chickens running around the place.

The photo on the right is of Morag and I walking back from the Mirador del Ray lookout back towards Lake Enol. Lots of the buildings alongside this road appeared to still be in use.

The posada put on a different menu every night. We indulged ourselves on the last night and “ate in”. (Nigel, the owner, took the picture – not octopoddy (the tripod)). Morag, Carol, Mal and Steve bought a cigar (solid chocolate) for Frank to say thanks for all the driving, and for not collecting that large bus on the roundabout on the last day.
