Having paid for 24 hours parking in the motorhome parking area in Flekkefjord, we wanted to get the best value out of it so were in no hurry to move on. Besides, we weren't intending to drive far today. Once the rain stopped, we went for a wander around the town. Many of the older buildings were white clapboard and looked very attractive on a sunny day.
Leaving Flekkefjord on the E39, we had an uneventful drive to Mandal Camping where we booked in for one night. It's a nice site and full. A woodland walk leads from the site to a lake.
We're there somewhere

Heavy rain this morning, much needed of course. We were able to spend the morning snug in the Camper sitting it out, making the most of our 24 hours, and catching up on the papers. It quickly cleared after lunch, and became quite hot, drying the tarmac out in no time, so we were able to have our planned stroll round the lovely little town. Sadly the interesting white wooden octagonal church had just closed for the day, but it was very enjoyable just wandering through the streets of white painted wooden shops and houses. All very smart and prosperous looking, and very much geared to tourists. In the sunshine we realised that the Camperstop which had just seemed like any old large car park was in fact very attractively positioned between a sheer cliff face and the seashore and little marina, and very convenient indeed for the town.
An hour's drive along the E39, still scenic even though a main road, and we are at Sandnes Camping just outside the little town of Mandal. It is a very attractive smallish site, with wooded rocky hills on three sides, and a rustic, relaxed feel about it - all signs and buildings are wooden. Very nice!
