Thursday 28 th June - La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre

We decide on staying another night as it was really rather a pleasant spot - also we are able to get TV and the Belgium v England match was on in the evening!  So, another ‘rest’ day.......this time, window cleaning for Crew.  It promised to become a very hot day, so tried to keep it to a minimum!!
Chris (on Pelican) had walked into town and spotted a nice restaurant overlooking the river and booked a table for lunch for the six of us so after freshening up we all trooped to the restaurant,
We had drinks on an upstairs terrace with a lovely view of the town and river, then down to the restaurant for a delicious lunch.  We ambled back to the boats in the heat of the day, helping some Australians to moor on the way.......then siesta!
When Crew put the TV on at six o’clock the reception wasn’t too good but by the time the football started at 8 p.m. it had improved considerably.  That said, the match was very lacklustre with England  losing 1-0 to Belgium.  We watched and episode of Vera then bed.
