A lovely lie in as we've decided to stay for a couple of nights. Skip then set about cleaning the lock grime from Aphrodites' hull and fenders whilst Crew took the Dyson round. Skip needed to get a document printed off to sign and send to England so walked to the Tourist Office which was a good walk. He was successful and came back with forms to sign, then to post them to Blighty at the Post Office. On his Tourist Office trip he had a good meander around the town, taking pictures. It seemed that St. Dizier was a much nicer town than at first thought with some very attractive buildings and quite a few bars and restaurants, even though many of them are still closed for August! On closer inspection Skip found that the Miko tower was not an ice cream museum after all (shame!) but a shopping complex with no shops - just a cinema!
We passed the afternoon in the usual way then went into town for dinner just before 8 p.m. We got to the main square and found just two restaurants and a bar open so,plumped for the Italian one, L'Indus which looked to be the most popular. Indeed it was pretty full and the tables very close together - people were still coming in after 9 p.m. We chose the set menu - foie gras to start, followed by scallops and a cafe gourmand to finish. Altogether very good.
Digestifs and another Poldark before bed.
