Tuesday 19th June - Souppes to Nemours

We left late again, just after 10 a.m. as another short day for us to Nemours.  Then after one more overnight, we will be on the mighty river Seine - a different experience from the canals!
We were very lucky to find a slot in front of a Dutch cruiser, although the bollards weren’t too well placed.  Again we tied off before midday.......could get used to these short days!!
There was a restaurant just a short walk from the boat called L’Ecluse which we thought we should try for lunch as we had arrived so early.  We tidied up and walked over - their menu was €14.50 for three courses and a drink.....can’t be bad.  As we sat on the terrace, the restaurant rapidly started to fill with locals, giving the place a buzzing atmosphere.
Replete, we ambled back to Aphrodite and took our usual siesta - lazy life!  Before Crew surfaced Skip had paid a visit to a small supermarket nearby for supplies (red wine getting low!).  Around five o’clock he decided to walk into town and came back with two more bags of shopping - he gets a bit jittery if he doesn’t shop for a while!
Unfortunately we were not able to get any TV so we started to watch our DVD of Worricker - more Skips’ kind of thing really but it whiled away the evening nicely.

10.5 km. 3 locks. 1 1/2 hours
