Guest Blogging from the Bungalow

Ah, so we, their China friends, were the lucky ones to be the trial guests at Heather and Mike's Happy Bungalow B&B.

We've signed up for the 4 day stay, and as all excellent B&B's we are immediately greeted with a short tour and then given some wine to enjoy. Since they are new to guests we brought our own inflatable bed with us - problem being when we went to inflate it. Inflating it we found out that the pump needed to be charged, so suddenly it's night and we have no bed. Mike runs down stairs and pulls out his old inflatable mattress but warns us that it may have a small leak. Just about the same as the inflatable bed that we let our guests use back in China.

For New Year's Eve we let Heather and Mike do the planning, off to a quick dinner at Fiddlehead and then most likely to the Dank Haus for celebrating midnight with a German flair.

Turns out that the dinner that we went to at 19:30 took a little longer then anticipated and suddenly we looked and it was 23:55 and we we had just started into our main course. It seemed odd but because of the fact that they kept us plied with wine we wouldn't notice. So suddenly we had hats and noise makers and we happily enjoyed midnights passing while still eating dinner. No crazy drinking and carousing, just fun talking and drinking of wine. It was a great night and finally they kicked us out of the restaurant around 2:00.

The first then we decided to take it easy, and we spent a quiet evening in the bungalow, Tina made her sangria and we played Scattergories - Mike won.

Our final night in at H&M's B&B we let Heather make the sangria - she got the recipe correct - and we played with their Wii.

Oh, and to make the stay better - Heather went out and purchased a new, quality, inflatable mattress to replace the leaking one that we brought and the old one of Mikes. It made for a quality sleep....

Mike - checking out the new bedding. It's good.
