Camping?

Ok, I need an expert opinion...does this sound like camping:
1. Hot Water Showers
2. Short Walk to a BEAUTIFUL Beach
3. Electricity to Cook
4. Wine Glasses
5. Sleeping in a Tent

I went with my flatmate, Amanda, down South for the Easter long weekend (the Aussie's get Friday and Monday off). With practically half of the city leaving town, I thought it would be best to do the same. When Amanda offered camping with her family, I decided I would have my first 'real' camping experience - since I've never slept in a tent before.

Well, I can't really say that this weekend was "roughin' it". With one twenty cent piece, I got 3 minutes of hot water in the super clean shower - I even considered NOT wearing my flip flops in the shower (but don't worry Julie, I decided to be safe even if it did look TEN times better than any youth hostel shower).

While Amanda and I shared a two man tent, it came with two single air matresses that were just as nice as the mattress I sleep on in Sydney. Meals were prepared in the kitchen of the camper van or on the electric barbie...plus I got to chill out on fabulous beaches, roast marshmallows, and read as much as I wanted.

A most fabulous weekend...even if it wasn't REALLY a camping one...

Also, my expert opinion is that it sounds as close to camping as anything should be!
