This episode was filmed 1st & 2nd September 2022.
Our journey to Norway continues as we board the MS Romantika in Eemshaven for the 18 hour crossing to Kristiansand.
After settling into our cabin we set off to explore the ship and then enjoy a lovely meal in the Grand Buffet.
After a pleasant night’s sleep, we have time for breakfast before arriving in Kristiansand where we head straight for the Arkivet Museum, the SS Headquarters during the Occupation of Norway in World War Two.
Next we drive to Odderøya island and after working out how to pay for parking, take a walk to explore the old German bunkers.
We visit the Cathedral in Kristiansand then go on search of a new pair of earphones. Just time to enjoy some frozen yogurt, sitting in the sun before the parking runs out.
We find our first park up in Norway and Carol cooks up dinner.

@jeanjacques9980 Жыл бұрын

I think ferry companies work out the cost of fuel, tolls, accommodation, a shorter ferry crossing and charge accordingly (Brittany Ferries). If the ferry runs all year round to service truck transport, high season customers partly subsidise the rest of the year. Of course the accountants know exactly how much the ferry actually costs the company per trip. I travelled to Norway from Kiel on a fabulous ferry, still pricey, booked meals at time of booking the ticket, a gamble if sea sick.

13.34 is where we stayed, Radisson Blue. Although we had a campervan, after three weeks camping all over Scandinavia, we fancied a break. Worst pizza I ever had in that hotel, but fabulous view of the bay from our room. Lovely town Kristiansand. We were there on Mid Summer day/eve and there was a huge bonfire next to the sea, with a stage and bands and food and lots and lots of boats and people. Norway is my favourite country in the world for driving, especially towards the north.

I came to love the EasyPark App in Switzerland. Once it is set up it is really easy to use. It saved me needing foreign currency coins all the time. It calculates by minutes exactly how long you were there and a main advantage is that you can prolong the parking time on the phone without needing to go back to the car whenever needed. And you have a list as proof of payments to contest any tickets that you might get. I'm actually upset that there is no parking app option whatsoever in Luxembourg. The EasyPark App works in many other European cities in Belgium, France etc.
