One mission today. Identify campsite with swimming pool, playground and sun for Maddie's birthday tommorrow. Add a dash of princessification and the day should go well.
I've devised a new rating system for campsites. Now all I need is a logo...
A 1 Toilet Brush Campsite: not even typhoid will induce you to unclench. Early exit the next morning before bodily function status is raised to Urgent.
A 2 Toilet Brush Campsite: Sign welcoming dogs with picture of goofy looking pooch. Western toilets looked on suspiciously by locals. One euro token required to stand under a dribble of cold water leaking out of a hole in the wall.
A 3 Toilet Brush Campsite: Sign demands that all dogs are kept on lead.
Western toilets in the majority. Some even have seats. Facilities cleaned at least weekly. Catching sight of oneself in the cracked and greasy mirror there is only a slight sneer of disgust evident.
4 Toilet Brush Campsite: Dogs banned. Showers have water warmer than body temperature. You see equipment that a cleaner might use should they appear. The pool of mud you left in the shower has been largely removed within 2 days.
5 Toilet Brush Campsite: Sign informs campers that dogs are summarily executed. Small Maddie and Chloe sized sink and toilet installed. Hot water showers that don't stop with the soap still in your eyes. Daily cleaning. You might even, maybe, think about using the toilet brush yourself. Should it be necessary. Which it isn't. Ever.
Anyway, mission accomplished, at a 5 Toilet Brush campsite with views across unspoiled mountains, we have the stage for Maddie's birthday:
Swimming Pool - Check
Playground - Check
Bar showing the World Cup in high definition widescreen television - Check
