I did know there were such nice bits of Norway so far south. 
We really will have to get there some day. June/July sound good times to be there.

You appear to be taking our homeward journey of 3 weeks ago in reverse. We loved the region around Mandal and Lindesnes. One of our favourite stopovers was between Hauge and Egersund on the RV44. Camper contact no.44682.
We stayed there last year. It looked slightly different to your photos.
We found another place about 500 metres away on an old harbour a little further away from the road. This may, or may not, be our tomorrow night's stopover.
Hoping to see a bit more blue tomorrow.
Hoping to see a few more Fish more like...we are running out of supplies, I am under so much pressure to provide....

We have the potatoes. We have the menus sorted.
Fish pie, fish cakes, fish pate.
We NEED THE FISH!

Do you want Fresh Cod? or Dried Cod?
This was my first ever cod that I caught on a spinner (at the ferry terminal at Horn)
And these bad boyz were drying out in Å

We want fish, any fish, even a Mackerel would be a start
.(He has caught some tiddlers and put them back and we've seen some big fish. Just need some patience and a full fridge!)

Today I almost lost my job as events manager but as it turned out it's safe!!!
We cycled the few kilometres to the start of the walk up Brufjell and the side trip to the caves.
The start of the walk is down the fjord but no access for us other than by the minor road. The tiny houses are the village.
Another perfect day for hiking. We set off uphill following the blue paint marks and first passed the little pebble beach.
Onwards and upwards until the downwards started!!!
What goes down has to come back up, but that's for later.
We eventually coaxed Ros and Norman down to the platform where the caves are. And we have the obligatory photo to prove "we woz there"
The reverse route was slightly easier climbing back up.
Ros, showing a great climbing technique.
And Norman following closely behind.
Once back on terra firma we had to top out and make an entry in the book. A kind local took a photo of us all together.
I think you could probably hear the buzzing in the air. Ros and Norman cos they'd done something out of their comfort zone and us cos it was good to share.
I'm now allowed to plan our next sortie! I'm thinking the Troll's Prick!!!

We had our walk to Trollpikken after being charged NOK100 each to park 
.
Pricks demolish the Prick
During the night of Saturday June 24th 2017 the rock was vandalised. It was broken off with mechanical force and use of tools. The boulder was found intact right below it's original place. The boulder weighed 12 tons. A fundraiser was initiated and €20,000 (200 000 NOK) was quickly reached. On July 6th a local, construction firm started the restoration and around 1700hrs the following day Trollpikken was erect once more.
To get the formation back in place three holes were drilled in the block and the foundation. A 10 m high, 2.2 tons framework was put up around the block to support the hoists, straps were put around the block and it was lifted into place. Three iron bars, each 4 metres in length, were fed into the holes in the block and into the foundation and the fracture zone was reinforced with epoxy.
Words fail me about the mentality of some people
Our first view.
You can see where the block was fractured on this photo.

Millions of years formed wiped out in 30 minutes lost forever.

Just been out with Ros and Lester for his evening constitutional. In my role as events/social/activity planner I found a short walk up to some German built gun emplacements on Vedafjell. They built tunnels also but Ros and Lester wouldn't go in with me, so I explored one alone. Unfortunately when I emerged at the other end I didn't know (a) where I was and (b) where they were so I had to retrace my steps 
.
The entrance to the tunnel
And one of the emplacements
Spot the fisherman (we think we could)!!!
By the way, it's grey and drizzly now

Shouldn’t an events planner decide on a walk to the nearest bar for a beveridge or 2?!
