Nothing much to do today. The van has to be back at 3pm and the place were staying is not that scenic.
We have a late get up. Its apparent that this campsite is the one most people are using for their final night before a flight home as its only eight minutes drive to Kefvalik airport and all the car and van rental places are nearby. Suitcases are strewn all over the grass and people are madly cleaning the interiors if their vans.
I go for a shower. Im first in the queue but forty minutes later Im still first in the queue. What IS that woman doing in there? Ian suggests I use the mens. He has seen a couple emerging from it whilst he was having a wash. As there is no one in there I decide its the best option.
We take the camper to fill it up with fuel (its a full to full policy here). People are furiously cleaning their cars and vans. Fortunately we dont have to worry as the rental people told us they prefer to clean the vans themselves. Gritty
Now what? We return to the lighthouse at the end of the peninsular where we started off on day one. It looks considerably nicer in the sunshine than it did in the rain and gales.
Now we return to the campsite for a huge fry up. The dining area is semi open and the wind is rattling though it. We dont want to cook in the camper as Ive just finished cleaning it.
I notice theres a man picking through the rubbish bins. He finds half a bottle of alcohol and goes off very happy. Then I see him on the kids playground doing a celebratory workout. Theres actually very rich pickings here without resorting to the bins as there is a table to leave unwanted items onit is heaving!
Everything is packed so we return to the rental place. All our unused food (theres quite a lot of it) is put on ‘help yourself shelves and fridge. Its a great system - help yourself at the beginning and donate back at the end. I think there will be
some very happy campers tomorrow as the shelves are bursting by the time we have crammed on all our stuff. Cooking didnt turn out quite the way we expected here so a lot of our ingredients were surplus to requirements.
Back at the hotel, we have been allocated a very nice room with a sea view. The beds are Though it feels pretty hot in here after all that fresh air weve been having.
We decide to go out for a walk along the sea front. We were not expecting much as we thought we had seen most of Kefvalik on the day we arrived. Not so it would seem! We find a number of steel sculptures, but also we discover the Giantess Cave. It didnt look much from afar but in fact its rather fun. The cave turns out to be much larger than expected with cleverly designed doorways and furniture that make us feel small. Inside, the giantess is laughing out loud and there are also loud belching and farting sounds echoing around the interior. The kids (big and small) are loving it.
