... and by the end of the day he had scored a low enough card to make the cut, which was brilliant for a young 17 year old!
In the afternoon we walked to the local pool which was lovely with two hot spars filled with local thermal water, a big swimming pool and a water slide. The kids had a great time there and we enjoyed soaking in the spa and then cooling down in the pool with a few laps. We left there after an hour or so and then ...
Weinig gezien maar wel lekker gegeten
... in het begin zijn ze erg schrikkerig, logisch want ze zien hier amper mensen, maar na een tijdje kan er toch even geaaid worden, meteen staat ook de hele kudde er nieuwsgierig om heen.
