We had spent a large amount of money lately. New tyres for the car, brake parts for the caravan and car, expensive sites, diesel covering countless kilometres down this huge country, and essentials like wine, gin & beer, it had all mounted up 🙂
In an effort to reduce expenditure for a while, we perused the Camping Card app and found the nearest site offering an off peak discount was near Byglandsfjord, Neset Camping. The site would be 190NOK per night instead of 300 odd in most places, and, as a bonus, didn’t charge extra for a shower.
Neset Camping had served its’ purpose in giving us a week off of travelling, spending, getting the blog back on track, and taking time to relax. It is a very nice site to stay on. Nice position, good, clean facilities and friendly.
The only fly in the ointment has been the weather. The last three nights we have been kept awake by torrential rain and very high winds. We noticed that the level of the Byglandsfjorden had risen by about a foot during our stay.
Today we visited Rjukan, a former industrial town that sits in a steep sided gorge. It is most famous for the saboteur activities against the German held Vemork heavy water factory during World War II, by The Heroes Of Telemark.
