The Fridge Malfunction
Today, we arrived in France after a long drive of about 343 to 400 kilometers. By lunchtime, we found a small place near Bezier called "Cut Dag." However, my mood quickly dampened when I discovered that our fridge had stopped working completely. It wouldn't work on gas, electricity, or even the 12-volt setting. It seems that there might be a fuse on the main circuit board that is difficult to access. We decided to contact a motorhome dealer in Bengt to see if they could help us investigate and fix the issue. We're hoping they can fit us in soon, but we understand that it may take a few days. In the meantime, we'll have to manage without the fridge and shop for fresh food every day. It's a bit frustrating, but we'll get through it.

The Fridge Malfunction
Today, we arrived in France after a long drive of about 343 to 400 kilometers. By lunchtime, we found a small place near Bezier called "Cut Dag." However, my mood quickly dampened when I discovered that our fridge had stopped working completely. It wouldn't work on gas, electricity, or even the 12-volt setting. It seems that there might be a fuse on the main circuit board that is difficult to access.

In the meantime, we'll have to manage without the fridge and shop for fresh food every day. It's a bit frustrating, but we'll get through it.
The Search for a Solution
With our fridge out of commission, we had to find alternative solutions to store and prepare our food. We knew that relying on frozen foods and fresh ingredients would be challenging, especially considering Steve's specific dietary requirements. We reached out to Bengt motorhome dealers, hoping they could offer a quick fix for our fridge problem. While we anticipated a response, we prepared ourselves mentally for the possibility of not finding a solution right away.
Shopping for Fresh Food
As we waited for a response from Bengt motorhome dealers, we had to make do without a functioning fridge. This meant shopping for fresh food every day to ensure we had meals for our journey. While it was more expensive than buying in bulk, we appreciated the opportunity to experience the local markets and indulge in fresh produce. We stocked up on fruits, vegetables, and other perishable items, making sure to prioritize Steve's dietary needs. It required a bit more effort and planning, but we embraced the challenge and embraced the flavors of France.
Making the Most of the Situation
Although it was frustrating not having a working fridge, we decided to make the most of our time in France. We adjusted our plans and explored the nearby air and beach. Despite the inconvenience, we appreciated the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and scenery. While the fridge problem posed a challenge, it also allowed us to step outside our comfort zone and find alternative ways to enjoy our journey.
Exploring the Air and Beach
The air where we parked our motorhome was a beautiful spot, providing us with stunning views of the beach and marina. We took AdVantage of the surroundings, capturing the essence of the seaside atmosphere. The area was tranquil and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We took the time to explore the air, showcasing its amenities and beauty. It was a reminder that even when faced with setbacks, there is always something to appreciate and enjoy.
The Solar-Powered Car Park
One unique feature of the air was the solar-powered car park. It was covered with solar panels, providing electricity through a sustainable source. We were impressed by the ingenuity and commitment to environmental conservation. It served as a reminder of the importance of embracing renewable energy options, even in unexpected places. The solar-powered car park was a shining example of how small changes can make a big difference in reducing our carbon footprint.
Walking Down to the Beach
We decided to take a walk down to the beach and soak in the natural beauty that surrounded us. The pathway leading to the beach was lined with trees, grassy areas, and bushes, creating a pleasant and serene atmosphere. As we made our way closer to the beach, we noticed a bustling bull tournament taking place in the background. The lively atmosphere added excitement to our day, and we couldn't help but be amazed by the dedication and skill of the participants.
Bull Tournament on the Beach
Upon reaching the beach, we were greeted by the sight of a massive bull tournament. The loud hailer and public address system added to the energy of the event. It was a spectacle to behold, with enthusiastic participants and spectators cheering on their favorite bulls. Despite the chilly breeze blowing in, we couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement and marvel at the unique experience. The beach came to life with families enjoying the festivities, creating a vibrant and unforgettable memory.
Conclusion
