Camping

If you think the English weather is crazy you should try New Zealand!! Today we woke up to lovely sunshine after a boozy night on the campsite. A few couples got together and drank wine and beer (and some jamesons!) and we had a lovely steak salad whilst Sam played with his friends Tom and Will. The drinking went on until about midnight when the Jamesons ran out and the noise levels were getting a little too loud for camping comfort... needless to say there were a few thick heads this morning and a few red eyed people wandering around the site. One couple were the parents of the kids, another Scottish couple have just emigrated here and are driving around until they find somewhere to stay. Then there were the friends of the couple with the kids and a random couple from NZ who are travelling for 6 months in a big converted horse box!

This morning we went with the other family for a surf around the bay and I chatted to a man in a car for about 40 minutes whilst Will and Sam went in the sea with the kids... Sam got some fantastic waves. Then we had an amazing burger and Sam had a whopping ice cream. This afternoon we have chilled out at the camp site, studied some French, done the laundry and had a nice shower. Most of the campers have left now as the weekend is almost over. We will stay a few more nights as Will wants to see the dentist as he has a whopping toothache. We have just met another couple travelling from the UK (unfortunately no kids).

So now we are off to find the leisure centre to find more kids - wish us luck.
