The hotel doesn't do meals, so it's stocking up at the supermarket for evening meals and self catering as the hotel have kitchen facilities downstairs which we can use. There are one or two cafes in the village but the translator doesn't recommend!!! As long as we can get a decent lunch in the works canteen (mmm...more on that later) we shouldn't starve.
As the title suggests we met our neighbour today, the other long term resident, the hotel mascot. Now, I've been places where they've had a parrot, fish tanks, a cat, a dog or maybe a few rabbits running around but this place tops them all with their BROWN BEAR.
It's in a cage behind the wooden building in the other picture above, but something tells me it's not a petting zoo. We'll find out it's name and let you know. One of the old ladies from the hotel took us over at feeding time and spoke non stop about gawd knows what and totally ignored our replies in English,so we just continued replying ' really' you don't say' ' well I never' etc etc. Bit of a panic on when we thought she was bringing it out of the cage but she was closing & opening partitions to put the food in.
A challenge to keep ourselves occupied of an evening, but after finishing our daily logs, Al B has dozens of feature films on his laptop, plus a hdmi cable to connect to tv, so it's film night every night!!! Won't take us long to get fed up with that I'm thinking.
