Shall I, Shan't I? Third time lucky? Trip to Norway from Spain

[paddymcc]

If you're going by ferry from Hirtsals I would recommend Camping Galleri Munkens nr Lokken. 100 DK - quirky gallery and nice loo/shower. We have stayed there twice.
Enjoyig the blog. Looking forward to you getting to Norway...

Judith surely you can have a treat every now and then as you are on your holibobs , that meal looked a tad sad to me!!?

Hi Judith, The Management suffers badly from bites and she tried that Cologne when we lived in Mojacar, the mozzies loved it! Didn't take her long to get back to the smelly but effective stuff.

Well thanks, friend!!!

It was actually very tasty, if a bit sparse.

The funny thing is we've lost the interest in food that we used to have. Possibly because sugar cravings have gone. (Hasn't worked with wine though )

We haven't had cause to use it in anger yet. We also have some Skin so Soft and, as a last resort, some proper stuff with DEET.

Didn’t been to offend?!?

Oh yes loves my gin!!?

We used to, but now it's more fuel than food to us.

We've just parked at a lovely waterside spot, and the heavens have opened!!! Just our luck. Martin's rain radar app says it will pass through ?

Some lovely sailing boats passing in the murk in front of us.

It's very picturesque 'murk' .

Kiele Woche (the big sailing festival at Kiel) has just ended so I expect there are still boats in the area.

 

[jumartoo]

We've moved on (or rather we're moving) cos we can't just sit in the rain. Hoping it'll stop by the time we do!

 

[Lenny HB]

Hasn't worked with wine though

As the French say " A meal without wine is like a summer without sun".

A new fishing technique for Martin to try perhaps ?





Might want to turn the sound down a bit .

We left our nice spot with the view, even in the murk, (one) because motorhomes can't stay for more than 2 hours (maximum of 4) during the day, even though payment has to be made. Overnight is free from 22.00 to 08.00! This is because it's been abused by motorhomers overstaying.

And (two) the weather was awful and it was too early to stay and potentially sit indoors all day or go out and get drenched.

We are now parked on a grassy Stellplatz belonging to a Hotel/Restaurant. €10. Water and emptying. Toilets if required.

Our neighbour to our left is a Hymer Tramp but on our right we are overshadowed by a Morelo. Looks very nice but I doubt we'll be asked in to have a look around .

He (she) has a black and gold satellite dish and gold on black logos.

Must be someone of importance

We had a walk through the next door forest and onto the beach. But our main topic of conversation (after fishing and where to go tomorrow) is our neighbour

We are tucked in (now) behind.

That's it.....just what I wanted....an arm dripping with blood...forget the super flexing carbon rod....God gave me two of the best arms you could imagine....bring it on..

Tomorrow our destination is "Damp" but I hope only by name and not by nature!


It looks like a possibility for biking AND fishing!

 

[jumartoo]

Today we didn't stop at Damp cos it was too damp at the time, so we continued further north to the quaintly named village of Wackerballig!

The Stellplatz is on the harbour and it's the playground (today at least) for hundreds of kite surfers.

Komoot again found us a bike ride, unfortunately only 23km, but in the wind it felt longer.

An old mill (Charlotte) now a private residence.

Beware of the fence!

The Stellplatz is to the left of the red roofed building.

Trying to get started!!!

 

[jumartoo]

When we arrived back from our bike ride we had a card tucked behind our door handle.

In Spanish it said "to pay, please go to the Harbourmaster at 5pm).

Martin went, at 5pm, and spoke in Spanish to the bemused Harbourmaster. He'd used Google translate, as we expected!!!

However, he spoke good English and he and Martin had a good chat. He winters in La Manga!

Martin asked about fishing. "Not allowed here", was the answer, "unless I'm not here. I finish at 8pm and start again at 8am."

But ... it's too cold for fish!!!

Last year was too warm!!!

How many more excuses can be made???

Time....with a sleep in-between....

My best chance is to get fish out of the freezer or buy some tomorrow.

The cost of the fish still to be caught would have bought us a fish supper many times over!!!

Martin's giving up on fishing for a few days until he's in Scandiland where he hopes to get his dinghy out on the water.

We're heading inland to a Stellplatz on a lake at a place called Sörup where Komoot has found us a 34km bike ride for today.

A little further west is the motorway to Flensburg, on which we hope Ros and Norman Hagstrom will be travelling in the near future. A rendezvous point will be found!

 

[jumartoo]

We've arrived at the lake Stellplatz. Billy no Mates again. It's a lovely place. We're hoping the bike ride is as nice.

Fishing is allowed. €5 for 24 hours. There are kids fishing with grandad! Martin's not tempted though!

 

[Langtoftlad]

Amazing they avoid getting their kites all tangled up
