On our way!
September 5 in Germany ⋅ 🌬 31 °C
Today we headed out on our way to Norway! I had picked up the car yesterday and phew that was a bit of a mess. Mine was missing things and couldn’t find some parts, the people couldn’t find them either, then of course they were in the one place we didn’t look (but it was good I went through everything there so we weren‘t trying to find it ourselves since they were in weird spots!). Once I got everything I went to leave…and the car wouldn’t start! The battery was dead and they jumped it but I was like why was it dead?? To try and make sure we don’t do the same thing and the guy wasn’t understanding me and was just like it‘s fine! I checked the battery and it is all good! So I finally drove off after just over an hour there (normally it is like 10min) and came home and started putting things inside, then went and parked it nearby overnight. I had forgotten something in the car and went out to get it after we parked it and it was good I did! I think I figured out what happened with the battery - the screen for navigation and everything does not turn on and off with the car. You have to manually do that and it was still on when I got to the car as I didn’t know that was a thing so I turned it off. Man if I wouldn’t have gone back out the battery probably would have been dead again this morning! But I felt better figuring that out.
This morning we got up and packed the rest of the things and after lunch headed off! We got an earlier start than I anticipated so we drove farther than expected which is good so we don’t have to rush in the morning. We are parked in Hobro Denmark right on the water (the photo with the kayaks is right out our back door!) there is a nice trail along the water through the small town area so we wandered there and back which was nice. Good to get a walk in after all that sitting! Tomorrow we have about an hour to the ferry and then we will be in Norway!
Oh I almost forgot - it was so windy today (and hot!! I am so glad we are heading to cooler weather!!) and we kept driving through little dust storms - the dirt field were so dry the wind was kicking up so much dirt it was crazy! I tried to take photos, but they didn’t look as crazy as it was!Read more
Traveler See what I said about a battery charger!
Traveler As soon as it happened I thought oh no! I meant to order one of those!! I need to remember to do that when we get home!
Traveler It's good you picked up the camper early!
