Een prachtig uitzicht

Huis kijkt mooi uit op een fjord. De weg er naar, via een smal grindpaadje was moeilijk te vinden. Huis is mooi ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Wel vreemd dat je boven het behoorlijk huurbedrag ook nog apart voor elektriciteit en verwarming moet betalen. Dat stond in de advertentie maar het blijft vreemd. Wat echt tegenviel was de communicatie met de organisatie. We moesten om 16.00 uur met iemand bellen voor de sleutel. In grotendeels onverstaanbaar Iers vertelde de man dat zijn vader de sleutel had en ik mij daar moest melden. Intussen kwam deze man naar ons huis, hij woonde blijkbaar beneden aan het grindpad. Hij was boos op ons dat wij niet bij hem gestopt waren. Wij uitleggen dat wij dit niet wisten. Volgende morgen was er geen water. Weer met de man van organisatie gebeld, die in hetzelfde onverstaanbare Iers vertelde dat zijn vader zou komen om het op te lossen. Het is halverwege de middag inderdaad opgelost, maar je kunt niet douchen, niet naar de wc e.d. Twee keer met de organisatie gebeld en dan krijg je een voicemail. Voor ons geen reclame. Als tip willen we meegeven om er twee makkelijke, verstelbare tuinstoelen naar te zetten om van het uitzicht te kunnen genieten. Nu alleen een houten kampeertafel met twee banken er aan vast.
