Things I have learnt from going camping

#1  The simple art of preparing meals with limited cooking utensils

#2 The trick of washing dishes in a bowl straight after they are used in a minimal of water...usually cold.

#3 Being able to read by lantern light
 

#4 Learning to use quiet voices lest the neighbour who is less than a metre away hears
 

#5 How to make the dash back from the toilet block and not drop any underwear on the way.
 

#6 Having to get used to showering with flip flops on.

#7 Make sure the bladder is empty before going to bed so there is no middle of the night dash to the toilet block ( I only had to do it once...it is eerie at 1.30am)
 

#8 That you can go away for a few hours and all the neighbours have changed
 

#9 That there is a constant flow in and out of campers, which changes the course of path to the toilet block constantly.
 

#10 Camping doesn't necessarily mean roughing it...there are some big flash rigs out there and a lot of people doing it in style.
 

#11 The grey haired travelers only need an hour and they have found like minded travelers who then become their "besties" and constant meal companions for the duration of their stay.
 

#12 It can be a skill finding an unused washing machine...have the right change and then remember to go back and collect it.

#13 That leaving your washing on the communal washing line all day means it will still be there when you get back.
