Hot summer, anyone?

We hit the E38 and followed it until we reached Mandal, where we got a real apartment, with water inside the cab and a sleeping room on the second floor at Sjosanden. Not quite cheap, but still reasonable for the features. The whole camping site felt like being in south France, with its stone pines all over the place and its sandy beach.

From that day on our trip turned into a real holiday – at temperatures at about 25 degree celsius and a merciless sun burning down at us for almost 20 hours a day, we agreed that we wouldn’t put on our heavy boots and climb some mountain under such circumstances. Instead we went to the city center of Mandal, a beautifully small town, with white wooden houses. Softice was inevitable.

That evening, we went down to the beach again…

Average age in Mandal is pretty high… even the animals.  white town _dsc2081.jpg Don’t bother ice eating people… heyoho… and a bottle full rum.. on top the hill - the whole norway expedition team :) “…Nobody on the road….” “…Nobody on the beach.” Edward Hopper couldn’t have done it better.
