Thursday Margot had a day off (Hemelvaart, Kristi Himmelfart) so why not take a weekend camping. Michael is leaving Monday for Europe so this will be our last weekend together for the coming month. We drove of on Friday and the plan was Chulumani. A couple of thousand meters lower and hopefully with sun and probably with a couple of mosquitoes. Margot had a place in mind were she had been 12 years ago, hoping it was still existing. After loads of sand and dust we arrived after 4 hours. It was still there and we found even a luxurious campsite. We were the only two camping there with lots of birds, two Grand Danois dogs, parrots, cows etc. The owner makes ice creams and fantastic cakes so nothing to complain. We even had a quiche lorraine for diner. Life is tough.
