Almost ready redecorating... we're very happy with the result. The first guests arrive in a week. Everything goes according to plan. Roger.

Last night we experienced a small disappointment. A guest cancelled the reservation she made via AirBnB for eleven nights in August. 

Since the reservation, we no longer had to think of some imaginary guest. No, we were decorating the room for an anticipated real person! We were telling our selves that a booking only becomes "real" once the guests arrive. Nevertheless, we did feel slightly disappointed when the news arrived. 

Hey, it's all in the game.

Then what happened? Our listing at Hostelworld got published this morning. Just a few hours later, we received an SMS with a confirmed booking for the first half of July. Hurray, a real booking! Reason enough to open a sparkly bottle at diner time.

Update 2011-06-18: And another booking today! A stay of one night in July. For your information: we're still available on the first of July, the opening night. After that: Fully Booked. Well almost, and only in July :-)

We've been busy, Ilse and I. Making lists of necessary home improvements, items to buy and preparing the house for our Bed and Breakfast. 

Please have a look at our listing at AirBnB and let us know what you think.

Do not forget the most stressful activity: visiting B&B in other cities. We've been to Cologne, Germany and Bruges, Belgium. We'll keep that as a habit, I can assure you.
