We had decided to stay for two nights as Dannemarie is a pleasant town. Crew put a load of washing on as it was already warm and there would be no drying problem. The three of us had already decided to walk into town for lunch - there is a little controversy about the distance but Crew maintains that it’s around a kilometre and slightly uphill going! We went just after midday - by now the temperature was about 30c already and not much shade to be had. We checked that the Auberge de St.Leonard was not open.....they are still on holiday. So we went across the road to a Chinese restaurant - a bit odd in France but we were met by a lovely cheery Chinese lady who not only kept us well amused but served us an above average lunch, with good wine. Skip and Crew got the giggles when she said ‘flied lice’.....such an old cliche!
A little detour on our return to the port - Henk bought some good shoes in a shop here two years ago. Crew felt that we ought to keep him company.......ooh, lovely shoe shop!! Two pairs of shoes later (one pair of winter shoes for Henk and a lovely pair of red sandals for Crew) - Skip decided against. We then made our way to the supermarket for a few necessities. The walk back was very hot and we were glad to get back on board.
Usual siesta and lazy evening.
