Tranum Klit Camping to Bergen

Tranum Klit Camping to Bergen, Norway

We shower, breakfast and service Hymer and catch up with some journaling of our travels.

After an early lunch we check out and leave Tranum Klit Camping and head for Tranum Strand, a lovely strip of sandy coastline along the northern most part of Denmark, a popular coast for Danes who swim and sunbath in the shelter of the heath. Turning east toward Brovst and then a minor road south to the Tranum Strand hotel At the Tranum Strand hotel we meet) where we are to meet friends from Chain Reaction Square Dance club in the UK, who are here for a week of C1 Challenge dancing.

We spend a pleasant afternoon chatting and catching up on their C1 week and our time at the European square dance convention, leaving them around 4.00pm. We drive north on H.11 towards Aalborg and then E.39 to Hirtshals and ferry to Bergan. We check-in sometime after 5.30pm, a quick and easy process, no security or other checks and into the line waiting for boarding. The ferry arrives around 6.00pm, vehicles disembark and then we load, a seamless process. Once on board on the truck-deck with the other motorhomes (and some trucks) we make our way upstairs to Level 8 and our cabin.

An inner cabin with 2 bunks is very acceptable, plenty of space and a good bathroom with shower. Our departure time is 20.00 hours and we leave on time. We have dinner booked so make our way to the restaurant. Like the Viking buffet from Stockholm to Turku in 2017, once paid for everything was a ‘help-yourself’ buffet, including the wine! The food was fabulous… every kind of cold fish and meats imaginable (including caviar) with salad and chips were available, help yourself… to as many courses (and glasses of wine) as you wish.

The trouble always is that it is easy to eat too much not quite knowing how much you have already had. When full… it is definitely time to stop (but hard when the food is so good). Stop we do and return to our cabin and bed, a long day and quite exhausting.
