Hidden holiday house









Mom and I were treated to a super midweek stay at this new CO2-neutral camping concept called Het Verborgen Verblijf on Veluwe Zoom, with a 'great 19th century explorer' theme. We made fire to cook in the slow food wagon, played very old records on a prehistoric record player, cycled for low voltage electricity, looked at the stars with a telescope and I fooled around with a microscope (and of course the Casio keyboard mom brought along as well as a great battery-operated tractor I got as a holiday present). Every morning we went to get fresh eggs at the hens, got veggies and strawberry's from the garden and played with the dog and kittens on the estate. We also went for little trips in the car exploring the surroundings (including a tropical swim paradise that put me into a coma afterwards;-) Mom had her birthday while we were there and uncle Paul, auntie Esmee with little Bas and Jessica with doggie Neo came to visit. I got to stay up real late every night because I got a bit scared... so dark out and all the strange noises in the bedroom tent were a bit too impressive. Apart from all the over excitement that kept me from sleeping we had the best time together.
