Allure de Lucht

On Monday we took Mia and Abi to a campsite called Allure de Lucht. It is somewhere in the countryside, about 50 kms from Houten and on the way to Apeldoorn. The trouble is we left our Netherland maps in the UK so precise details are unknown. Thank goodness Ken (our SAT NAV) took us to the campsite and back to Houten successfully.

It was a holiday park, with the usual bar and fast food restaurant, swimming pool, activities, and on site caravans (lots of them). It used to be a farm so the countryside around was very rural. It was a lovely spot and we enjoyed the few days there. Catching the sunshine on the terrace
The playground contained gym equipment for adults. Although they were metal, they were beautifully balanced and easy to use. No health and safety signs either. And children were allowed to use them too. I am trying out the step machine!

I have only one complaint about the site. The swimming pool, although undercover, is not heated. One needed plenty of stamina to get into it and swim a few lengths. All I wanted was a lovely warm pool to laze about in, instead of a bracing one, which required lots of action in order to stop the cold from getting through to your bones.

So today Mia, Abi and I went to a lovely leisure pool in Utrecht, where the water was warm, there were lots of chairs to laze about on, with glass overhead so the air was warm and tropical, and coffee, fries and ice creams readily available. Bliss!
