Flight was delayed but boys were great even though all their iPad streaming apps had somehow logged out so they couldn’t watch downloads on the plane.
Got in an uber to the address printed on eurocamp leaflet. Was not the place. Had to book and wait for another uber.
Got here and chalet is in good location in terms of quietness but it was a trek with luggage in mid afternoon heat. To find our bedding and towels weren’t here. Spent over an hour on the phone to uk to speak to someone as auto set to voicemail at local camp.
Finally got bedding and towels and headed to the pool. Which was closed for the day. 🤪
Boys refused a margarita pizza at onsite cafe as it tasted weird so they ate sugary cereal for dinner.
But they are so happy and excited and the first day is always a write off (my friend said who I messaged).
Looking forward to to the rest of the week.
Intestesting some people assume I’m a total melt without a backbone. I’m a very capable single parent and have been long haul on my own before without feeling like this. It’s just bloody hard to function in the UK heatwave but it is easier here with the aircon and the breeze. My home in the UK is a total hotbox.
And yes thanks to those who get it that it’s hard when there isn’t someone else to carry the bags, carry a child, amuse children while checking in, ordering the uber or whatever. When you have this type of fog from the heat and they’re stressed and needy it’s very stressful. But definately worth it!
Thank you for being supportive x
