Van Ceuta naar Rabat

Terugblik op de camping in Noord Frankrijk: ‘Afrika?!’ De ogen van de Nederlandse man die naast mijn tent staat vallen bijna uit zijn kassen. De dag ervoor wilde hij de elektriciteitspaal die onze percelen van elkaar scheiden, checken. Hij marcheert over mijn staanplaats heen, zoals alleen een Nederlander dat kan, ziet mij niet eens zitten en loopt bijna over mijn prijzige Primus allesbrander heen. Gelukkig ziet hij mijn kookstelletje op tijd en stapt er óverheen.
