Rustic dreams!
We spent the night in the caravan. Needless to say Annabelle enrolled in a self-assigned mission of “Bug/Rodent-watch”! She must have slept all of two hours the whole night.
The rest of the family slept straight through the night (Dad included), and woke up at the unmerciful hour of 7:00am…. on a Saturday morning. This is so typical of our boys – Aaron especially. It always strikes me how he will struggle to get up for school after a good night’s sleep – but will cheerfully wake up at 7:00am on a Saturday morning, and that after having had a late night on Friday !
So, an early breakfast and an early start to the day… here in rustic land. When I say rustic, I mean R.U.S.T.I.C. – This is a no-luxury, no electricity, no flushing toilet raw deal that we have here. In short, a small 500M2 plot with a 2M high boundary wall within which we have a 4-berth caravan stationed. Impressive huh! (Not). Well at least we have running water (Well sort-of – we have one tap-point, no drainage).
For the perfect getaway, sane folk book a cruise – well my family and I stay a night swatting mosquitoes in bug-land.
