Subject : Life in the camper

Our little home away from home is cosy and practical.  We have a shower and a toilet but generally use the camp amenities except for the middle of the night ‘call of nature’. Most nights we cook and have not found meat as expensive as we had anticipated.  I did go armed with a variety of vegetarian meals but so far I have only subjected the boys to one of them – and it was delicious.  Chicken is cheap.  We often buy a whole one, split it and barbeque it over the coals or buy chicken portions, add flavourings and cook in our handy-dandy multi-cooker we pre purchased on line.  Pork too is cheap.  We have even had beef which the boys have barbequed.  Mince of course is very versatile with pasta based meals and hamburgers with lots of avocado is a current favourite.  Needless to say we are not starving.  Eating out though is expensive and a real treat and often disappointing.  A fellow Dutch traveller we spoke to said that pre the European Union, cheap meals in Spain, Portugal and Italy were commonplace.  Alas no more!
