From Kristiansand - Arendal

Today we are expecting nice weather again, with pleasant temperatures. Once again, we are impressed by the brilliance of traffic planning. Whether it's a highway, roundabout, or bridge, we are easily guided along the bike path everywhere. After about 30 km, we arrive in the charming town of Lillesand. I really wanted to try charging the e-bike at an electric vehicle charging station. We bought an adapter before the trip. So we get to work. We struggle with initial difficulties. Eventually, it works out, the battery is charging. I am relieved, Luigi doesn't mind. Well, my bike uses more power than his😉. Now I need to know how cold the North Sea is; at least I can get my feet into the sea. We are used to different temperatures for swimming. In the afternoon, we arrive in the small but very nice harbor town of Arendal. Numerous yachts are anchored in the harbor. We sit down in a cozy guest garden and enjoy a beer. Again today, I book with the Thon hotel group. In the conference room of the **** hotel, we are allowed to bring the bikes in and charge them. It's really great, we appreciate such hospitality. The room rate of € 154.- does not scare us.
