Look at this -
I'm feeling
depressed. It's raining. There is no wildlife to photograph. All the pictures I
took at the local museum are blurred, the internet connection in the van is
crap, my photo programme Lightroom has crashed, and now the heating won't
work, and my laptop won't charge. I check the reading on the voltometer - 10.2
volts. I've been wondering how low it could go before things stopped working.
Now I know. It has to be over 11. With no sun today I've had nothing going in.
So that was the last
straw?
No, actually that
saved the evening from misery. I had to find a solution and the obvious one was
to plug into the hook-up power on the camp site. A few minutes later everything
looked different. The mains charger was working, the volts were going up steadily
and so was my mood. There didn't seem to be any monitoring on which pitch was
using which socket - there are no set pitches in Iceland camp sites. I was
tempted to say nothing, but decided that I would have to pay or I would feel bad. The camping
here is charged per person regardless of what you are sleeping in, so it's
cheap. The electricity is usually the same price, so not cheap, but here I'm happy to pay.
Big problem: problem
solved. That's why we love a challenge.
