Saturday 17th June - Strasbourg to Souffelweyersheim

We left Strasbourg at 10.30 a.m. after Skip and Gary had been to the supermarket for bread and a few other goodies.  Skip thought an easy first day for our new crew was in order so just two locks saw us in Souffelweyersheim (Skip thinks that we have stopped here before but I have to say I certainly don't remember typing all that!!).  En route we passed the very impressive European Parliament and the European Court of Justice.  On arrival in Souffelweyersheim, we all walked into the centre of the neat little town, where there was a boulangerie, a boucherie, a small supermarket, two restaurants and everything else one might need.  After stopping for a beer, Gary said he would navigate us back along a different route.  It took about 15 minutes to get there but.........half an hour later saw us back with Aphrodite!!!  Needless to say he has been unceremoniously sacked as a navigator!!  All crew except Skip managed a bit of shut eye before getting ready for dinner. We decided to eat in the nearest restaurant to us instead of walking into town again (we might never get back to the boat - too risky!!).  The restaurant had a nice terrace at the back where we enjoyed a very good meal with excellent service.  Back to the boat for a game of cards, digestifs and bed.
