First night of camping



Seeing as we,d bought camping gear to help with our accommodation budget, we thought it was time to give it a go. We even cooked a great dish of Pasta as we were missing our Italian friends.
The next morning we were sore and ached and both very grumpy. I was ready to give it away, but after breakfast we mellowed and thought we should give it another try. I packed my bed with as much padding as possible. I folded the doona or duvet four times and Tony dug a hip hole. The second night was much better. However we haven,t done it since. We keep saying - oh on we can,t camp it,s looks like rain. We have to camp for a total of 5 days for the tent to pay for its self. I,m sure we can manage that.

It's so funny, we would like to see your face as well as your mood, anyway camping is always a young's job and the fact that we still want to do is the answer.
Go on and don't give up.

I have only one piece of advsce for successful camping and that is that you must have a comfortable bed!A self inflating well insulated mattress is non-negotiable!
