The freedom of camping






Meeting fellow creative travellers and sharing experiences,
Like the German guy who resides in Iran and told us he had to replace his Arabic number plates for ones with European letters to enter Turkey,
In hostels and camp sites you share advice, get the lowdown on where to go and what to miss out,
Children meet friends easily around the pool
Every meal is eaten Al fresco
You catch up with your washing and tidy up your messy car
You sit around the table and play card games with your kids
You sleep early and rise with the sun
You answer continuous questions about where your car is from (a Qatari number plate is always a conversation starter)
And you find the nicest blogging spot
On the front lawn of a pension
Overlooking the beach
The waves crashing to the shore with their rhythmic melody.
