The only eatables I found were fish and potatoes; and whenever I could stay for several hours, they fetched milk for me from the hills.
The travelling conveniences are still more unattainable; but these I will mention in a future chapter, when my experience will be a little more extensive.
August 26th.
I could not see the situation of the town of Bolkesoe till daylight to-day, for when I arrived the darkness of night concealed it.

It is situated in a pretty wooded vale, on a little hill at whose foot lies a beautiful lake of the same name.
The road from here to Tindosoe, about sixteen miles, is not practicable for vehicles, and I therefore left my carriol here and proceeded on horseback.

The country grows more quiet and uninhabited, and the valleys become real chasms.

Two lakes of considerable size form an agreeable variety to the wildness of the scenery.

The larger one, called the Foelsoe, is of a regular form, and above two miles in diameter; it is encircled by picturesque mountains.
