Lesson 47-4  The great escape

Insularity andself-containment, it is argued, go hand in hand. The opinion does not surviveexperience of a popular Continental camping place. Holiday hotels tend to caterfor one nationality of visitors especially, sometimes exclusively. Campingsites, by contrast, are highly cosmopolitan. Granted, a preponderance ofGermans is a characteristic that seems common to most Mediterranean sites; butas yet there is no overwhelmingly specialized patronage. Notices forbidding theopen-air drying of clothes, or the use of water points for car washing, orthose inviting ‘our camping friends’ to a dance or a boat trip are printed notonly in French or Italian or Spanish, but also in English, German and Dutch. Atmeal times the odour of sauerkraut vies with that of garlic. The Frenchman'sbreakfast coffee competes with the Englishman's bacon and eggs.
