We left our mooring at 9.15 much to Crews' surprise - thought 10 a.m. was our departure time! The plan was to get to Chalons in time for lunch which was attainable since we only had a short run. For a nice change, the weather was kind with plenty of sun.......Skip even had to don a cap as the sun was in his face the whole way! We arrived just before midday and, while Crew listened to the end of the Archers omnibus, Skip settled us in. We walked into town, looking for lunch and got to the main square to find about fifty per cent of the restaurants open......Sunday lunchtime!! We settled on one
which turned out to be very acceptable, although the waiting staff were somewhat harassed as it was pretty busy and two of them asked us which dessert we would like before we had received our main course!!
Back to Aphrodite for a siesta as neither of us had had a particularly good night. We thought we would try our DVD of Wolf Hall as we had missed it on TV at home........a mixed reception - Skip enjoyed it far more than Crew!
