There are a quarter of a million registered nudists around the world

In the first of my inter-travel posts, see below an article on the plans for Germany's first nudist hotel....

How far would you go to be
'one with nature'??

____________

The house rules of the planned hotel

Access to the hotel is reserved exclusively to followers of the nudist movement
By entering the hotel grounds, guests agree to comply with the binding house rules

Guests are obliged to be naked inside the hotel precinct

Sexual harassment will not be tolerated

Sexual acts are strictly prohibited in the common areas

Photography and filming are only allowed with permission of those photographed

Germans love nudity more than any other place I know of! They even charter nudist flights! And don't get me started on the naked guys at the park every weekend! Going to the sauna in Germany is not for the faint hearted, haha. The only nudist beach I've been to was in Zandvoort near you, but it was cold (go figure) and no one was around.

Haha, yeah, Zandvoort's main beach isn't nudist, but there is one close by if you decide to go for a walk. Arno and I did that once at another beach and unknown to us, we walk to and through the nudist area. I will never forget seeing a pubescent girl playing paddle ball with an older relative. Slightly disturbing.

The funny thing about it is, IMHO, that if you're really 'one with nature' and see naked people walking around, some of them being attractive, you will feel attracted to them and break one (or more) of the hotel rules (right? or am I being a pervert now?)

I think nudity is pure and natural for kids, but not for grown-ups. And excuse my being ignorant, but how do the nudist movements actually justify non-sexually-charged nudity for grown-ups as natural?

Love the enhancement of your blog to also tell about yourself!!! Was glad and surprised when I saw that the last entry was not Guatemala anymore! :-)
