9 things you think about when you are in a water park

“I can hardly ask it, but I will anyway.” The sweetest teacher of my at least equally sweet Flo. Staff shortages in healthcare are also knocking at our door. So at her ‘school’ there are also too few hands and too many children. Long story a touch shorter: she is home for three days this week. Because I am very much team Cruijff and therefore like to see the silver lining of a cloud and not the rain shower behind it, I think it’s incredibly fun. Quality time. And maybe now together to a tropical swimming paradise because it is of course deserted on an average Monday morning. Little did I know. So there I was, in the middle of a tropical swimming paradise where you moved more vertically than horizontally and the one and a half meters were only maintained for a beer or fries order. Anyway. The swimming paradise then. And then you wonder this for example.

1. Are there people who really come here for their pleasure?
2. What are those people doing on those plastic chairs next to the wave pool? Oh, they are reading a book. So they are really making a day of it.
3. How many of the people present here (I guess about 1500) would actually go to the toilet to pee?
4. How many liters of urine are there in an average swimming pool again?
5. Why is a tropical swimming paradise a sauna when you step inside but you really feel cold after half an hour?
6. Am I the only one counting how many times I have taken the giraffe slide by now?
7. And the wild water ride?
8. Do other people also look at the clock every quarter of an hour?
9. And think if it’s a good time to say: “Shall we go home?”

Tomorrow we go again.
