It´s Sunday, the last day of the INF Youth Rally 2008, and the weather is warm and sunny. Everyone has flocked to the lawns to suntan, naked obviously. The sun has been coming and going and its been too cold to take off our clothes and be naked. I am getting frustrated we are here for nudism.We are over a hundred naked youth,15 to 32 years old, from England, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Portugal and Mexico. We are at a naked campsite called De Vrije Vogels, a half-hour drive from Amsterdam in Holland.
But what is this all about? What is nudism? Well, the International Naturist Federation defines it as : being socially naked in harmony with nature, with the purpose of fostering respect for the environment and one another.
You get a lot of free spirits, some hippies, but generally friendly, open people with no hangups - being naked is for the brave! We have all been waiting for the weather to improve since the rally began on Wednesday. Only a hardy handful were naked for the football and volleyball on Thursday and Friday, and everyone had to be naked for the massage workshop, but that was inside. Today is the first real opportunity for nudism.The naked Dutch are really getting into the free-spirited vibe. They are soaking each other with water balloons, mock wrestling and laughing hysterically. In the distance there are naked shapes playing shuttle ball and taking turns on the zip line.
So what do we do at a naturist youth rally? Well, the day begins differently to start with. We wake up at around 7:30 and make our way sleepily to the communal shower blocks, some naked, some wearing towels, where there are no male and female demarcations. Yes, this means guys and girls shower together and its simply fantastic: the showers are one of the most social places at the rally and a great way to get to know others while soaping up. Plus, when I step out of the shower and grab a towel there is no need to cover up. This takes a while to get used to...........
