Holiday report: bite-sized

Day one: I have a terrible cold and go through three hankies before we even leave for Center Parks. Our babysitting employers offer me something for my throatache. The car ride is hectic, lots of trucks and other traffic. I can’t see a thing through my side mirror. Not handy. Am in need of second Red Bull or chocolate. Alas, both are in the boot of the car, out of reach. Upon arrival we see what appears to be a camping site with cottages. The cottages are small and used to be white. They’re forming a line through the trees. The site is huge. We pass a cow (named Riet) in what appears to be a petting zoo. There are Dutch people everywhere. I am not amused. Everyone is trying to check in at the same time and there are cars all over the place. We are tired. Am angry because of the blatant marketing aimed at young children and designed to make as much money as possible. I wonder if the cats understand why there’s a strange man in our house, instead of us. I hope he remembers to feed them.
