Wow.. We were not disappointed. We were welcomed by Wilma and Hans with the customary glass of booze. We drove the Squeakster in, set up and then jumped into the pool. There is something really special about this place. Not only is it almost unique in that it has a pool, but it is run by one of the most enigmatic, energetic couples I have ever met. The legends that are Hans and Wilma! It was August for Christ’s sake. Holliday time…. The kids needed a break and so did we. The next day they were expecting 30 campers, all bicycle riders from a group who ride their bike all over the planet. MENTALISTS! We thought twice about walking to the pool it was so hot.
That night we were fed by the support team that followed the group, carting their tents, clothes, and anything else that they had decided to bring along.. What a fantastic meal of chicken and polenta. Thanks guys.
The site seemed to be truly cosmopolitan and we quickly hooked up with Cristi and Adrian… a couple of young lads from Romania and Christine, Joost and Floury from Holland. The drink flowed and the stories more so and we were soon among friends…….
………Friends. A strange concept that I have never truly got my head around. Is it people who surround you for your whole life, always there for you, anchoring you to the place where you are, together, safe.. Or is it possible that friends can present themselves… out of the blue. You get a feeling that you could trust them… WTF!
We have made some great friends here.
