Things I have learnt from going camping

#1  The simple art of preparing meals with limited cooking utensils


#2 The trick of washing dishes in a bowl straight after they are used in a minimal of water...usually cold.




#3 Being able to read by lantern light
 

#4 Learning to use quiet voices lest the neighbour who is less than a metre away hears
 

#5 How to make the dash back from the toilet block and not drop any underwear on the way.
 

#6 Having to get used to showering with flip flops on.


#7 Make sure the bladder is empty before going to bed so there is no middle of the night dash to the toilet block ( I only had to do it once...it is eerie at 1.30am)
 

#8 That you can go away for a few hours and all the neighbours have changed
 

#9 That there is a constant flow in and out of campers, which changes the course of path to the toilet block constantly.
 

#10 Camping doesn't necessarily mean roughing it...there are some big flash rigs out there and a lot of people doing it in style.
 

#11 The grey haired travelers only need an hour and they have found like minded travelers who then become their "besties" and constant meal companions for the duration of their stay.
 

#12 It can be a skill finding an unused washing machine...have the right change and then remember to go back and collect it.


#13 That leaving your washing on the communal washing line all day means it will still be there when you get back.
 

To be continued.....

  2. Bron your post has actually made me remember how much I enjoyed going camping(in a fold-out caravan, which really isn't camping as such is it!? lol) and now realise how much we've missed over the years! I recall learning many of those things myself! That was soooooo many years ago now!
    I take it this was during the Christmas schools holiday. So glad you all enjoyed yourselves.
    That is some BIG tent you have there! :) ♥

  3. Your tent is huge! What an impressive set-up! Where abouts did you camp? In Walpole or another nearby town like Denmark. Such a beautiful part of our state xx
