Turns the alarm in the Swedish holiday resort
He gets hurt of those who travel for many hours each day, to meet a full campground.
– It is almost as you get the urge to open up even a ground, but of smittevernhensyn is not possible, ” he says.
the Solution has therefore been to put up a “sorry full” sign as soon as all the spots are taken, but even when he gets peace.
the Phone rings all the time. At times we have had to turn it off because we don’t tackle the pressure. It is violent, but very fun and, be chuckling the executive director.
