Yes, that’s right. I
have been out smarted by a squirrel!

| I'll get you one day! |
I arrived at my campsite early to find that they had site
wide wi-fi. It was getting late in the
UK so before setting up my campsite I decided to make a skype call home. As it was quite windy in the campsite I took
my laptop up to the communal shelter.
Whilst making a call, I was nibbling away on
a Nutter Butter when I noticed a squirrel in my peripheral vision. The sight of a squirrel in US campsites was
nothing new, but this one seemed extremely relaxed around me as he sat up on
his hind legs about 1m away from me.
Despite the cuteness of the squirrel I did not relent and
ate my remaining Nutter Butter.
I was just telling the Mrs about how I was excited about my
dinner; I had chilli, with rice and a bread roll awaiting me….the bread roll
being the treat as supermarkets can be hard to come by towards the end of the
day when buying my groceries. Almost as
soon as I had said this I saw a suspiciously familiar paper bag blowing in the
wind, the cheeky things had knicked both my bread rolls (I had one for
breakfast too).

To add insult to injury, the following morning I was cooking
breakfast as the sun was rising. I
quickly went to take a photo and returned to my campsite to discover they had
nibbled into my rice packet; my dinner for that night!! I had assumed the packet, being sealed and
within a plastic bag, was safe. So I
guess really it’s 2-0 to the Squirrels .
It’s OK though, I’ve still got a bit of time on my hands to plan my
revenge!
