Norway

Mandal

We arrive by ferry in Kristiansand, near the very south of Norway, with a short hop by car to Camping Mandal.

We took Daisy out for a walk by the beach that afternoon. Lots of kids toys by and in the water, including an arial runway.

We also visited the Mandal town centre. Lovely footbridge over the water. interesting to see a big Specsavers branch.

Trouble at Camp (part 2)

We set up camp – to discover that the kitchen tap was spurting water everywhere! The tap had a hole in the side. I believe that the Viborg camp manager had pushed it too hard while opening our door through the kitchen window.

We felt a bit deflated to be honest (what else can go wrong with the Eriba?), and calling the Norwegian caravan shops didn’t give us much hope for a quick fix. Finally, with lots of help from the lovely Helga (owner/receptionist), she found us someone near to our next site (2 days time) that offered to help. So no water for 2 days … we decided to do what we do best, and take Daisy for a long walk.

Broken tap…

Walking around Skjernoy:

We leave Camping Mandal drive up the coast to the repair shop, where they have the spare tap available (hurray!), and replace it for us…
