June 26
We had no set plans after Paris and so on our last night there we picked a random spot to visit next. We ended up driving towards the Lac d’Orient, which was about half a days drive, since we still took only the smaller roads. There was a little beach at the lake where we spent the rest of the day. The water of the lake was very clear and there were millions of little fish. Near the beach was a campsite, called L’Epine Aux Moines (pdf), where we put up our tent for the night. It was a quiet site and we were the only “younger” people there. After putting up the tent we went to look for a nice place to eat. Unfortunatly we didn’t find anything to our tastes, maybe because neither of us was much in the mood for dining out again. So instead we did some groceries and munched on those while chilling by our tent.

Now since I’m pregnant, I need to use the ladiesroom a lot, something which wasn’t much of a problem during the day, but was a whole nother story during the night, because of the quiet and dark campsite. M. and I had agreed that I could wake him up if I needed to go. But he was sleeping so adorably (Haha, it’s a good thing he doesn’t read this!) that I felt sorry for him and decided to pop out by myself and find a spot behind the tent, instead of walking all the way to the toilets. So as I’m doing my thing, suddenly I get really scared. So I’m looking around and I see a fat man standing about 20 metres away from me. I started freaking out, pulled up my pants and ran back to the tent entrance. I looked in the direction where I saw him once more as I’m entering the tent and see him now standing on the spot where I just peed. Convinced we’re about to get slaughtered by the fat guy, I dive back in bed, in my sleeping bag. M. is now awake and he asks me what’s wrong. I tell him what I saw and he laughs it off and falls asleep again. I lay awake for another hour, waiting to get murdered.
No such thing happened, of course, and whether there actually was a guy or a ghost or whether it was just my imagination, we’ll never know.
