Monday 19th June - Waltenheim sur-Zorn to Saverne

We all woke feeling somewhat under the weather, except for Tina (the youngest member of crew!) but we decided to make the cruise to Saverne nevertheless.  Our departure time was 10 a.m. but we in fact left early as it was already so hot, with not much wind so we left just after 9.30 a.m. Although we had 12 locks to ascend, they were all with us and very quick to operate.  We arrived in Saverne just before 2 p.m. and we're helped in by the Capitaine and a young man.  Gary didn't want to eat anything and Crew was still feeling a little delicate so lunch was a brief affair!  We all managed a siesta in the heat of the day - 34c and no wind - and re-convened for dinner in town.  We have all been to this lovely town before and the boys had booked the same restaurant that we had frequented before, 5 years ago. It was good then and equally good now......very good quality food and excellent service.  We languished on the back deck with our digestifs before bed.
