Don’t wander too far

Setting up their tents for the night.

The first time I went camping, I cried myself to sleep. I was miserable as I wasn’t used to sleeping out in a tent not to mention in a cold weather. I can still remember trembling in the shower before turning in, because the water was cold as ice.

My first camping experience took place about 17 years ago. I was traveling Europe with some friends on a shoestring budget. When I landed at Schipol Airport, Netherlands my traveling companions who came to pick me up, took me by surprise when they announced that we were going to rough it.
