Overnight is quite an adventure. My mom would tell us dinner's at 7:00pm and we would play pretty much anywhere in the neighborhood till that time. In summers, a bunch of lake side boulders some 2-3 miles from our house would become our starship. I remember 3 of kids getting struck in another lake on a boat and eventually figuring out how to safely row back to the shore. Such beautiful days are unfortunately gone.

Oh that triggers another memory: on a family holiday in the South of France lac Biscarosse+, I finally managed to get the hang of a borrowed wind surfing board and promptly sailed across the lake because I was too afraid to let go. Totally cramped and had to walk back dragging the board because I didn't understand how to tack yet. That was a very long day with lots of people worried because I could barely swim (pretty rare for a Dutch kid to be a bad swimmer).

All is well that ends well...

+highly recommended, beautiful area and very nice campings.
