disaster................

FUN...did I say FUN.....

We arrived and set up which took ages as we weren't sure how we were going to do the seats to sleep...Wayne wanted to sleep downstairs so we decided to store all the gear upstairs to create more room downstairs...then he changed his mind and was crying as I said it was too late...

The rain was lashing down and the wind howling but the roof was ok x

Wayne went to sleep and we sat chatting and about 11pm thought we'd crash...that's when the real fun began.....

Wayne was sick...everywhere...we found a bowl for him and had to chuck the sleeping bag outside..and his pjs...got him changed and we all settled down again...hoping that was the end of it....noooooo...he continued to be sick regularly all night...I had to keep running to the toilets to wash the bowl out and throw clothes out of the van..and blankets...and it was still pissing it down...then at 5am he had the runs in his sleep...omg....it was horrendous.....got him cleaned up and we all crashed til 10am...shattered and smelly.

When we got up we cleaned what we could and had some brekkie, Wayne was sleeping and we thought we'd hold out to see how he was...well kids do bounce back quickly...I had a shower and we chatted to other bongo owners....then Wayne wanted to go for a walk and had a half hour burst of being ok.....then he crashed out again...by this time I'd seen the real state of the van so we decided to head home. The thought of sleeping in the van again smelling like that...urghhh...plus Wayne was in no fit state.....

Came home and washed the van and been washing ever since...sleeping bags...blankets...clothes...

Last night I felt ropey and yep I was sick....had a bad night but feel much better today

So a bit of a disaster of a weekend..and Wayne announced he didn't want to go in the bongo ever again...he thinks it was the bongo that made him sick.....sigh

But not to be defeated I am looking at going to haven next weekend...if we're ok!! and hopefully we can have more success....well it couldn't be any worse lol
