You can have a lot of fun in the summer if you have access to a kitchen.

There are some really great fun treats you can do with the kids (or whoever else may be childish enough to enjoy this kind of fun, aka: most adults ).

For example, mini lolly making.

You can buy for about 50 cents a bag of lolly sticks, and a couple of packs of fromage frais (i.e.: Petit Filous). Then, with the kids (or the adults, whatever!) you can have great fun piercing a tiny whole in the lid of the yogurt, and inserting the lolly stick so that it stays completely upright. You then carefully place them in the freezer with the lolly stick poking upright.

Wait for a few hours, and then take them out. Now, what you need to do is turn the lollies upside down and remove the yogurt pot. Hold the lolly stick at the bottom and you will have a frozen mini-yogurt free of preservatives, delicious to taste, refreshingly cold, and a snappy and creative task that you can have a great time doing!

This is something that you can uniquely do with a home exchange, where you have a kitchen to play around with. In the summer, having access to a freezer counts!
