Monday 5th June - Dannemarie

A nice lie in for Crew - much appreciated!!  Skip went to inform the lock keeper that we would not leave port until Wednesday morning as the weather forecast for Tuesday had not changed.  Just after 11 a.m. we made a foray into town, armed with a shopping bag, although we were not very hopeful and  returned with an empty shopping bag!  A very friendly Swiss man on a big Dutch barge had told us that there was always a boulangerie open but as it was Pentecost (Whitsun) I guess that had closed early, so the baguette remains elusive!!  A good job that man cannot live on bread alone!!  Skip (the lunch chef!) cooked potatoes for a potato salad and served it with salad and carpaccio of salmon.....very good!  A much better day, weatherwise, than expected but as we were parked the wrong way round we were unable to use our new sun curtains and had to retreat to below to avoid the direct sun.......shame!  The port is technically in Wolfersdorf, not  Dannemarie but all the 'action' is in Dannemarie, such as it is!  Walking into town, the houses are very large and detached with neat gardens (normally the French plant well but then never look after their gardens......here they are well tended.  We had a lazy afternoon and Crew cooked fajitas for supper, the. TV and bed.
