Disaster – last night the fridge has stopped working! A waste of good food and no ice for the G and Ts! How could we get it fixed? Using our newly-acquired skills on the internet, we found the name and number of a Dometic service engineer and managed to rustle up enough Spanish to ask the girl on Campsite reception to phone and explain our problem. The upshot was that we found ourselves driving across to the other side of Cacares [with good old Mabel’s help, of course] to catch the engineer before he finished work at 8.00pm. He tested the fridge and then explained as patiently as he could that there was nothing wrong, it just wouldn’t function properly on electricity in hot temperatures, and we would have to use gas. Apparently all caravan fridges are the same [it didn’t tell us that in the manual, though].
The good news is that this morning, now that temperatures are slightly lower, it is working again and we have ice. David says that we had better have our G and Ts before midday while we’ve still got ice cubes – don’t worry, Nancy – I put my foot down on that one!
