Although officially a rest day, chores still have to be done. Both Henk and Crew had two loads of washing to do so whilst Crew used her own machine, Henk joined a queue for use of the ports' machines, since the use of them was included in the mooring charge of €23 per night. And so the day was taken up with hanging out and bringing in washing, plus some ironing! We invited Henk over for a drink at 7 p.m. before walking into town for dinner. After a fifteen minute walk through the narrow lanes of Avignon we came across a restaurant on a corner that took our fancy - AOC Cave de Vin. The young waitress looked a bit harassed but welcomed us in and said we'd have to wait 20 minutes for service.........no problem so we sat down. She was indeed harassed as there must have been 40 or so covers and she was operating alone! We had a very good meal, not too expensive and immaculately served by the efficient young lady. Just as we were finishing, a man with a guitar came and played and sang a few Italian songs........very good! We tipped him, paid the bill and set off for home. As we came to a junction, Henk and Skip had a split decision on which road to take. When Skip said he remembered a landmark and Crew agreed, Henk acquiesced. My Dutch navigator is definitely sacked!! A nightcap on board, then bed.
