Where's Bertie? He's still at Camping Fortduinen.
If we thought our first night's stop here was cheap by campsite standards, today proved to be even more so. We did query the requested fee of €6.50, to which the receptionist explained that her colleague had entered something wrong on our account yesterday and thus the computer was only allowing her to charge us €6.50 today. Who were we to argue?
We improved the value for money yet further by using not only the electricity and showers today, but also the swimming pool.
Before the swim, a circumperambulation of the lake was had (where we could have swum, had we gone suitably prepared)...
Swimming in the lake we saw lots of people, ducks and a few dogs and, to our amusement, this horse (it did swim, just after I took this snap)
...then, after lunch, a stroll around some of the local woodland.
With clear blue skies, although not as hot as yesterday (still hot enough to be outside in the shade until late evening), it's been a very pleasant relaxing day (I say like some of our days are stressful or hectic).
We might have been tempted to stay another night, but we have a Chunnel to catch back to the UK in a few days time, so onwards we will go.
