A Spice of Chill (1) — First ‘Glamping’ Experience
Practically a trip to the ‘insect museum’?
Glamping: a type of camping that is more comfortable and luxurious than traditional camping. The word is a mixture of 'glamorous' and 'camping' added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2016.
I don’t think I have ever seen this many insects on the same day.
As a person living in the city centre my whole life, staying the night in a cabin is a brand-new experience. During the trip, I encountered butterflies, bees, moths, dragonflies, ants (big ones), grasshoppers, flies, spiders and even cockroaches, any insects you can name. I was terrified at first, but I was much at ease afterwards, as they were part of nature after all.
The dog
Except for insects, I also met another species — a golden retriever. Jack was owned by the staff, and he was the cutest dog I have ever met! He was wagging his tail the whole time when he saw us. My friend petted him, and I was glad the camera captured his expression. We hung around with him for a while; it was fun.
