Sunday 19th May 2024 – Nea Kavali, Greece

 

We awoke to find that we had no mains electricity in the van and had to make our tea using the gas kettle. I checked the van cut-out and the campsite socket and came to the conclusion that it must be our mains lead. Almost all Greek campsites use 2-pin sockets, so our mains lead has an extra converter attached for the 2-pin. I found a helpful German motorhomer and swapped his adapter for mine and proved that the fault was in my connecter. The 2-pin plug was moulded onto the cable and I couldn’t get into the CEE socket. We needed to get the lead repaired or replaced. At home it would be a simple case of ordering one online for next day delivery but that isn’t possible in Greece. Jane found a motorhome dealer in Thessaloniki that also provided overnight parking. We had planned to go in that direction in a couple of days but changed the plan and decided to go tomorrow.
