Thursday 1st September - Les Roches deCondrieu

We went to the Capitainerie to pay for a third night - Zac, the capitaine said that if we paid for a third night, the fourth night would be free........silly not to take up such an offer!!  Henk had overwintered here and told us that the Capitainerie was closed over the weekend so, technically it we had arrived late on a Friday, we could have stayed for free for three nights. As it was we paid €66 for four nights.   We settled on four nights, as we were eager to get to our next stop.......Lyon (supposedly the culinary capital of France).  We had lunch on board - the plan was to go for a nice dinner at the Tele- ski restaurant but, when Skip googled it, the restaurant, for some reason was not open until 18th September.......disappointment!  The two very large duck breasts were retrieved from our freezer for 'diner chez nous'.  Eventually Crew came up with her offering and wine was poured!  We chatted a while after dinner then Henk retired to Cornelis k. as he was tired (very warm with hardly any wind!).  We intended to watch an episode of Scott and Bailey but the first programme melted into the second, so we watched that too - didn't get to bed till 1 a.m.!!!
