We decided to travel separately, as it is much quicker in the locks with just one boat, so we left fifteen minutes or so before Henk, at ten o’clock. A much better day, weather wise with sun and cloud, not much wind and no rain, so a very pleasant cruise through the pretty countryside.
Three easy locks later (albeit the middle one was a stretch at almost 4m deep!) saw us before a lifting bridge just before the halte nautique in Viéville. As it was well before lunchtime we were lucky and a VNF man was on hand to lift the bridge for us without delay. They are tracking ourselves and Henk by asking us of our movements, which makes for an easier cruise.
We arrived around 11.30 and Henk followed on about 20 minutes later. We had pre-decided to lunch in the village if possible at the Au Pied de la Roche........we were in luck, they were open and serving a very reasonable ‘menu’ at €12 for three courses. As it turned out were were undercharged so we had a very reasonable lunch!!
After another lazy afternoon with Skip sitting under a tree, reading for quite some time and Crew below doing the same thing......followed by a sleep!
Henk came over for an aperitif but left fairly early as he was feeling a little under the weather so we went below to watch TV for a couple of hours, then bed.
9 km. 3locks. 1 3/4 hours
