| Bridges R Us |
Last night we went out for a meal to celebrate the summer
solstice – we chose a Chinese restaurant close to our parking place on the
coast. Kerriann suggested the set menu for two which looked very good and not
too expensive at £36. We had a small beer
each as a mediocre bottle of wine was around £ 45. We had a lovely meal but
were a little shocked with the bill £89 without tip. The menu had indicated £36
as a price per head for the set meal for two – oh well you live and learn.

Today we only had one ferry crossing and one toll tunnel
but those add up to £46. Most days we are having to spend around £20 - £ 30 on
ferries – this is not a cheap country to travel through!
Surprisingly diesel is a little cheaper than the UK –
this mornings prices were around £1.27 per litre but they had gone up to £1.34
by the afternoon. It’s always a surprise what the next service station will
bring.

Kerriann got a little fed up today – it has rained most
of the day and there seemed to be an additional charge for everything. The
ferry ticket man charged us double because he noticed that our bike rack took
Dickie’s length to about 2 cm over the 6 metre threshold and the tunnel man
wanted extra because there were two of us in the motorhome. This took it up to
£13 to drive through a 5 km tunnel.
I want to progress to the artic circle and the ancient
rock art in Alta but Kerriann wants to turn around and head for Spain. Watch
this space to see who what we decide to do.
We have just eaten the large mackerel that I caught from
the carpark in front of Dickie last night – this is a major breakthrough – it
is the first edible fish we have caught and landed on the trip!
