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
