Food on the move
While on the beach in Puenta Sal, we had our first taste of cooking three meals a day for the group. We've all been split into a bundle of groups, taking it in turns to do various chores, cooking, washing up and cleaning the bus. A few others have the job of bundling the bags off the bus and setting up the cooking tent in required. So far, our only experience of cooking involves the lunches that we set up during travelling days. These themselves are pretty lavish affairs, two tressle tables are set up and crates of food and cookware are unloaded, then the designated group hover around industriously until a rather impressive buffet lunch materialises on the table for everyone to dig in to. Guacamole, cheese, mayonase, chicken, ham, tuna salad and fuit salad in various cominations. All al fresco in various unusual roadside environments.
The handy thing about camping seems to be that all meals are included, which cuts costs quite dramatically. We had three group-prepared meals at Puenta Sal and each was pretty darned stonking. Fried breakfast, tuna melt sandwhiches and a final three course evening meal. I've been on (and on and on and on) about the food here already, so it's quite reasuring that the food which we prepare ourselves seems to be such a high standard itself.
Of course, I wasn't involved in cooking any of the meals while on the beach, I had the day off and spent it reading, sunbathing swimming and nursing a hangover. Cushy, eh?
