We decided on a rest day as our last one wasn’t exactly restful. Also it was Market day and we needed to see some people in this little town! So we left the boat around 11 a.m. and took a walk around the market which was bigger than we had thought it would be. Skip, having bought a linen hat was showing serious signs of thirst so we thought we could stop at one of the two bars in the market area but unfortunately there were no spaces available. We made our way to our restaurant instead but it looked as if it was only serving lunch. We had decided on maybe lunching there as it was so good but first of all, Skip needed a beer, so we walked to the other restaurant in town but that too was serving lunch and no terrace. The decision was to go back to the boat for some lunch or back to Le Coligny......no contest really! The lunch was again very good and we made our way back to Aphrodite again, fully replete! We stopped to talk to a neighbouring lady on a Linssen cruiser, Triton II who was travelling in the opposite direction to us......they wanted to go to the restaurant but they are both lactose intolerant and it seems that the restaurant can not accommodate them.....shame for them!
A very lazy afternoon ensued, with Crew feeling only a little bit guilty for not doing any cleaning. But it is a rest day, right!!
Tomorrow we are cutting out our proposed stop as it’s a very short cruise again - Crew thinks this is some kind of punishment by Skip......he really doesn’t want me to rest too much!! So we are aiming for Montargis instead of Montbouy.
Working on this principle Crew planned a quiet evening with a bit of telly!
