Weekend in Yzerfontein |
Dassenview Bed and Breakfast |
| 21 / 22 March 2008 |
We went for our first "long" car trip with Bella to Yzerfontein for the weekend. She has never been fond of car travel so this was the furthest we had ever attempted. All went relatively well and we arrived for our stay at Dassenview Bed and Breakfast.
We had a lovely room and the breakfast was good, when we eventually got it! The owner's wife was away and the poor girl doing the breakfast was run off her feet. Eventually some of the other guests went into the kitchen to help her cook (as the owner was wadnering around in his dressing gown upstairs). The waitress told us the husband was supposed to help her but clearly he had no intention of doing that!
Here's a little vidoe of Bella playing in the room: click here
