Sunday 9 th September - St. Jean de Losne

Crew allowed herself a mini lie-in before setting to work with her packing and cleaning.  Skip gave the hull a well needed clean after all the filthy locks and did some inside cleaning too.

The logistics of our trip back to England were very complicated as our car was still in Chalon-en-Champagne and all the trains from St. Jean to Chalon went via Paris, so an eight hour journey.  In the end we decided on a taxi to Dole airport, pick up a hire car, then drive to Chalon to pick our car up.  We would then to drive to a hotel near Calais for the night - a long day!  With this in mind we decided to have a last lunch with Henk, have a pizza for dinner and an early night.
So, dear readers, I will say ‘a bientot’ for the next five days - will resume the blog next Saturday!
