Not too much to report for these two days as we spent them giving Aphrodite a thorough clean and making our guest cabin ready for Martin and Clares' visit.
On Sunday our Kiwi neighbours Ian, Cynthia and asked us over for a drink but without specifying a time so as we had assumed they meant before dinner time for an apero we went over to them just after 6 p.m. As there was nobody on board we were making our way back when Ian called out to us that they were in the little garden behind the Capitainerie so we joined them with our chairs and drinks. We spent an hour or so chatting and discovering that they also knew our Kiwi friends Frank and Carol and Peter and Gwen and that they were also based at Blanquarts for the winter......
Small world!
When we rose on Monday morning there was a washing machine sitting on a trolley outside their boat - they need to replace their old one and had found just the right model in the large Intermarche near the port so between them they managed to wheel it to the boat where it was awaiting installation. So it was that their original 2 hour stay turned into 3 days!
Our plan was to dine somewhere in town and repeat the process with Martin and Clare on Tuesday evening but Skip went into town to see how far it was to walk to the station for M and Cs return trip and another recce of restaurants. Guess what..........everything closed!!! So, pizza again!
