We left the port at 10 o'clock with just 6 ascending locks today. The system on the Canal du Rhone-au-Rhin involves a dangler - a pole hanging down before the lock which has to be pulled to operate the lock. It was a beautiful day and a lovely cruise with no problems at all. We arrived in Waltenheim sur-Zorn just before 1 p.m. After lunch on board Gary and Skip went walkabout and sent Tina and Crew a picture of the menu in the nearby restaurant......modern technology, eh!! Not having any other choice we decided to dine there this evening. When we re- convened, Crew was not feeling 100% but soldiered on. We all decided on Tartes Flambes, a speciality of the region. They are similar to pizzas but the base is very thin and instead of a cheese base, creme fraiche, which makes for a much lighter taste. They were delicious and the staff were fantastic. We started to play cards but Crew had to abandon the game, still not feeling so good. Bedtime!!
