Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I ahau e tu ana i roto i te whare kaukau tūmatanui me taku tama 15 marama te pakeke e hamama ana, ka tīmata ahau ki te whakaaro mēnā he tangata tino pai ahau ki te whare wānanga. Ko aku maharatanga pōuri o ngā hararei whānau rite i ahau e tamariki ana, ko ngā rā hauhautanga i noho ai au i runga i ngā pae puni e kakara ana ki te pine, e whiti ana i ngā haerenga ki ngā takutai e maringi ana i te ra. Engari i konei ahau, he matua tino pai, tata ki te hauwhā o te rau tau i muri mai, e whakaaro ana he aha te mea i hē. I haere tō mātou haerenga ki Argeles-sur-Mer i te takutai Mediterranean o Wīwī, kāore he raruraru, ahakoa i roto i te tokoiti o ngā kaihaereere e rere ana, kātahi ka reti i tētahi motokā, kaua ki te taraiwa i te ara katoa. Engari ko te whakatau kino ko te whakamatau ki te horoi i nga tamariki, te tamaiti iti a Joe me te rima-tau-tau a Anna, i muri i te taenga mai ki te waahi o Camping La Chapelle i te ahua ngenge me te ngenge. I noho a Chris Greenwood ki Camping La Chappelle me tana wahine, a Catherine, me ana tamariki, a Joe raua ko Anna. I huihui ngā whānau ki te taha o ngā puna wai i ia ahiahi hei whakawātea i te wera o Akuhata. I tēnei wā i kitea ai e au kāore he wai wera, ā, he poka nui kei raro te kaukau pēpi, ā, kāore he pū. I runga i te manawanui, ka maka e ahau te mea iti rawa ki runga ki toku pokohiwi, ka mau ki etahi tauera, ka haere ki te whare kaukau. He meneti i muri mai ka whakaaturia e ia ki ahau te hapa o aku ara i roto i te ara e taea anake e ngā kohungahunga. A ko tēnei tētahi mea i mahue ki ahau ki te kauhoe i runga i, rite hohoro ite matou e kore pakeke, e kore whakatau i whai wāhi i roto i tenei whenua o te ra matomato, flip-flops me baguettes hou. He nui te wā i noho ai ngā tamariki ki te puna kaukau, e tākaro ana me ngā hoa hou maha i kitea e rātau. E mau ana a Joe ki ngā karaihe mahana nui rawa atu i a ia e noho ana i te taha o te kaukau i Camping La Chappelle i Argeles-sur-Mer. Engari, i ngā rā 10 e whai ake nei, ka tuku mātou i a mātou ki te atawhai o te oranga puni, ka whai noa i te ara o te ātete iti rawa. Ki te titiro whakamuri, i tika, i taua po tuatahi, kia maka noa e mātou ngā tamariki ki te moenga - te paru me te katoa - ka haere ki te kaukau i te ata. Ko te Eurocamp (i riro mai i Keycamp i raro i tana haki), me tana nohoanga noho whare motuka, whakarato...
I haere a Chris Greenwood me tona whanau ki Argeles-sur-Mer, France. He rerenga rerenga wai me tētahi kaukau wera ki te tuanui e taea ana te kōkiri. Ko te Tauranga o Collioure, kei te taha tata, he takutai pai mo te kaukau.
