Saturday 14th September - Breisach

A well deserved rest day today - although that means changing the bed and doing a wash for Crew and Skip cleaning the outside of the boat.
This whole weekend is a celebration in Breisach, dedicated to partying.  In the clubhouse the bar is open and during the day there is water ski-ing and wake boarding - in the evening a barbecue and music.  There were also various events in town too so we decided to have a wander round just before midday.  We watched a young man walking the tightrope......haven’t seen that for a while.  There was also a high wire on which motorbikes were to ride but unfortunately, we missed that.  We found a nice little restaurant for some lunch.  There was only one waitress and it became very busy - we both felt very sorry for her but she was super efficient and managed to keep people fed and watered.  We both had a flammenkuchen, which is a kind of very thin pizza but with a creme fraiche base instead of cheese...very nice.  On the way back to the boat we stopped off at the clubhouse and watched some  ski-ing and boarding - an enjoyable morning!
Henk, meanwhile had made several trips to a service station on his bike to collect fuel - in all 140 litres.
We stayed up top for quite a while, listening to the music over at the clubhouse and watching the most incredibly red sunset - then below for some TV and bed....a lovely day.
