Already mentioned the
new sunshade frames and the new chalets, apparently only now being
readied for occupation. They have been set out as a small village
with (artificial) lawns around the pathways and the whole thing is
quite attractive. To make room they have reduced the size of the
animal zoo but it is still here although not as many species as we
remember.
Unfortunately we
discovered the fridge wasn't working properly, eventually failing
whilst on mains electricity. The fault code confirmed the problem, a
failed part similar to a fault with another component we had late
last year and which we replaced. We've looked into getting the part
delivered to our friends before they fly out but it doesn't look
possible although they're still trying. A check on the internet has
identified several dealers, both near to us now and also on our route
south, so we'll endeavour to call in to see if they can help.
Meanwhile the fridge is working fine on gas so for the moment we
don't have a real problem, although we are going to have to allow for
a higher gas useage.
The first three days
were bright and sunny and we were able to sit out in the sun all day,
apart from an hour or so mid-afternoon when a tree got in the way.
However Thursday dawned dull and grey with a suspicion of rain in the
air although it never actually materialised. Without the sun,
however, it wasn't as warm and we stayed in the van, just venturing
out to walk Jamie and also get bread from the on-site supermarket.
We also decided to try
the restaurant out on our last night. It looks to have been totally
refurbished and is very nice indeed – but they had next to no menu,
just a three-course Camper Menu for during the day and a Night Tapas
menu. Unfortunately tapas are not Brenda's thing so we had to give it
a miss; but we've got plenty of stuff in the van so we just ate quite
late is all. Shame really.
But we're on the move
again tomorrow so therre'll be plenty more opportunities.
