The Island 2019 -1

Upon arrival I found a muddy campsite,

with a leaking tent,

The American Ambassador Piet Hoekstra

on our tent's doorstep,

and a magnificent gift of the farmers:

a huge amount of apples.

The event 'The Island' was already 

past its first half,

so the re-enactors were in their roles.

We had still parachutes to fold,

harness trainings to do,

and things to arrange.

Our role was not re-enactment,

but the real deal:

dropping out of the air.

No game,

but the harsh reality,

even in times of peace.
