Before getting underway today there was a little chore to do, replacing the water filter in the campers water system. I have not done this in a long time and it is well over due. The process requires emptying all the "stuff" we have stored in the locker under the bed. Thus the exercise turned in to a bit of a spring clean, even though it is autumn.

Once underway we had another beautiful day, but no beaches today just well manicured farm land, forested country side and a run through a particularly attractive residential area on the western side of Aberdeen.

We stopped for the night at a campground called Aboyne Loch Camping and Caravan Park. It is situated on a small lake near the town of Aboyne (go figure). Quite a nice place. The surprising thing though is that there seems to be only a few places for campers (either tent of motorhome) and the site is almost entirely occupied by what in America we would call mobile homes, almost all of which are painted a uniform green. The second surprise is that there is almost no one here, so it feels like we are camping by ourselves.
