Genoeg vakantiegenoegen

Het is nog donker, maar toch staat er al iemand je aan de bedrand te sommeren: opstaan! Een pril ontluikende bedrijvigheid waart door het huis en komt in je nek hijgen, terwijl moeder reeds in de keuken boterhammen staat te beleggen (het is eens iets anders dan aandelen): kaas, chocopasta, ham, ... Witte ijzerlintjes tooien de dichtgesnoerde boterhammenzakjes. Met wat er aldus aan lunchpakket op het aanrecht ligt, kan een Bulgaars weeshuis een maand verder.

Buiten staat de auto achterstevoren geparkeerd. Met open kofferdeksel staart het vehikel vol ongeloof een enorme stapel koffers aan: "Moet ik dat allemaal slikken?" Vader slaat desalniettemin verwoed aan het puzzelen en polst voor de zekerheid bij moeder of die beautycase echt helemaal mee moet.

Na een halfuur gepas en gemeet blijft het kofferdeksel dicht zonder spanbanden en kan de grote tocht naar Het Zuiden beginnen. Ik wacht geduldig tot na die eerste kilometer, wanneer moeder ontdekt dat vader belangrijk item x vergeten is. Wiens verantwoordelijkheid dat daadwerkelijk is, blijft het komende halfuur nog voorwerp van vele discussies, maar de auto wordt onverrichterzake teruggestuurd naar Start.

De expeditie is spannend en interessant. Of toch voor maximum een uur. Want autosnelwegen verschillen niet zo heel veel van elkaar, of ze nu in België of in Frankrijk liggen: trillende witte lijnen en kilometers glijdende vangrail. De enige animo die er af en toe ontstaat, heeft te maken met de te volgen route. Elke gemiste afslag doet namelijk de ergernis groeien bij beide partijen die de aansprakelijkheid zorvuldig doorschuiven naar elkaar. Het tafereel staat in schril contrast met de beleefdheid die een modern GPS-systeem van de Aldi tentoonspreidt: "Probeer alstublieft (sic!) om te draaien".

Halverwege stokbroodland valt de avond. De natriumlichten langs de baan verven alle auto's wit, grijs of zwart. Vader loodst ons een snelwegparking op alwaar we in hoogst oncomfortabele posities met de hele familie de nacht in de wagen zullen doorbrengen. Ik sluit mijn ogen en zink in een niet erg diepe slaap. Wanneer ik midden in de nacht ontwaak, merk ik plots dat we langzaam vooruit bollen. In paniek schreeuw ik de rest van het gezin wakker om ongeveer even snel te ontdekken dat niet wij vooruit gaan, maar de vrachtwagen naast ons achteruit. Ik wens snel iedereen welterusten en knijp mijn ogen terug dicht.

De volgende dag vervolgt de rit door de talloze peage-stations die Frankrijk rijk is. De Europese Economische Gemeenschap droomt op dat eigenste moment hardop van een gemeenschappelijke munt, de ECU, maar de Euro is nog in geen velden of wegen te bespeuren. We hopen dan ook allemaal dat vader genoeg Franse Francs heeft gewisseld om ook de terugweg te bekostigen.

Als kind ben ik enorm verrast wanneer in ons Spaans hotel blijkt dat er nog Nederlandssprekende mensen rondlopen. Oke, het zijn dan wel "Hollanders", maar het blijven toch mensen. Ik besef in al mijn kinderlijkheid dan nog niet de grootschalige annexering van Spanje door Nederland. Wie in de jaren 80 ooit naar het Iberisch schiereiland reisde, weet exact wat ik bedoel.

Verder laat ik even in het midden wie het topless zonnen heeft uitgevonden, maar de Nederlanders hebben het volgens mij tot een nationale sport verheven. Zo loopt er een vrouw rond in ons hotel die mijn vader kenschetsend Miet Hangtiet noemt. Worden hier reeds de wortels geplant van mijn voorliefde voor functioneel vetweefsel?

De oncomfortabele autoreis, ruziënde ouders, strandzand tussen de sandwiches, zonevreemde voedsel, ... alle ingrediënten voor een traumatische ervaring zijn aanwezig. En hoewel ik de reis nooit meer onder dezelfde omstandigheden zou willen maken, voel ik alleen een warme nostalgie bij onze Spanje-vakanties. Toch die tieten misschien?

Thanks for putting up this article. I'm unquestionably frustrated with struggling to search out germane and rational comment on this subject.

Many thanks for your concise, applicable insight.

In winnersneaker, these Nike Air Jordan shoes were associated with sport, fashion and basketball. The Nike Air Jordan sneakers were a way to hide some of the smaller sizes, or raise an important NBA star to even higher levels to the count. Nike Air Jordan shoes, but also less fashionable of Air Jordan history. Which were commonly used by high-ranking customers in NBA during the 19th century and were used in the 20th century to let the putrid mud in the streets, all you know is that you can find many discounted Air Jordan shoes in winnersneaker.com. Existing Air Jordan retro sneakers in the United States and Europe retails do not feel in fashion until the new Air Jordan shoes come in the street. At first the Air Jordan 1 shoes important wearing for young sport men, but once reigned basketball, Jordan shoes became the must-have fashion accessory for young people in the basketball playground. These Air Jordan original shoes were all to make a statement vividly. Air Jordans like Air Jordan 23 and Air Jordan 6 wore basketball shoes kiss in the context of his people larger than life.

teen bondage

This form of bondage http://fuckedbondage.com has its own niche on some internet websites, where images and movies usually depict voluntarily-tied models undergoing inescapable intense sexual pleasure, rather than any menace, force or pain. Safety rules followed by couples are frequently oral or visual context- and trust-based as the tied partner may be held in a submissive sexual position. Sex therefore takes place with their pre-given consent as e.g. a sex game or rape fantasy enactment. In contrast, e.g. a photograph not agreed upon taken while the restrained person is incapable of resisting can be considered non-consensual. The use of bondage by couples in their homes tends to be different from that associated with bondage in (for example) a BDSM dungeon, where bondage may be an end in itself with no sexual contact at all and is often combined with infliction of pain.

harmony rose

Bondage is the use of restraints for the sexual pleasure of the parties involved. It may be used in its own right, as in the case of rope bondage and breast bondage, or as part of sexual activity or BDSM activity. When a person is sexually aroused by bondage, it may be considered a paraphilia, known as vincilagnia (from Latin vincio, to bind or fetter with chains, and lagneia, lust). Some couples do incorporate elements of bondage http://perversiononline.com into their otherwise conventional sex lives at some point in their relationships. Bedroom bondage games http://enjoytheabuse.com often constitute foreplay. Bedroom bondage http://fuckedbondage.com is usually mild bondage, with one partner voluntarily being put into restraints by being tied up or cuffed, hogtied or spread-eagled, possibly blindfolded and gagged etc. by the other, who then sexually stimulates the tied partner theoretically at will by masturbation, oral sex, a vibrator or intercourse.
