Day 24 – Villajoyosa
Back in the summer was I was trying to find out why the newly fitted radio in the caravan would not connect to DAB. I spoke to the dealer and he suggested the manufacturer as they had no idea. I gave up in the end. However yesterday I had a notification from someone I follow on YouTube saying that they were getting DAB to work on their radio. After watching this video I now realise why it didn’t work ….it needs a splitter so that there is input to the DAB connector on the back of the radio. Decided to visit Norauto, which is like Halfords, but is a French company with branches here in Spain.
We needed to get some supplies at Lidl as well so a trip to both was in order. I purchased the cable required and we bought our bits in Lidl. On the way back we gave the ‘boys’ a run at the beach we visited 2 days back and the couple were once again feeding the wild cats. It seems that one of the cats that was poorly last time had subsequently died and they buries it. There were still some cats suffering with suspected cat flu. Let\’s hope they all survive. We noticed that there were some brave souls surfing in the rolling waves.
I took the opportunity to go into the reception of the campsite next to this beach .. El Torres camping. It is a ACSI site but only operate with ACSI in April and September. They are already taking bookings for January / February 2020 and were currently completed booked. I can see why it is so popular. It would be very suitable for us although a little more expensive.
When we arrived back at the ‘van I tried to get the radio out of the casing but it went in even further…the keys didn’t seem to want to work. No choice now but to dismantle the wooden surround which gradually meant even more screws to remove. At last I had the radio out and tried the newly acquired cable. No good as it was supposed to be a splitter and this cable wasn’t. Decision made that I would buy the cable from Amazon on our return and try again. Now to put it all back.
The rest of the day was relaxing, our series and some television. The temperature was a pleasant 18°C and at night it goes down to around 12°C. Nothing like the temperatures at home and the road conditions….thinking about you all.
