Wednesday 2nd October - St. Jean de Losne

Crew woke a little later than desired so didn’t start cleaning till fairly late - we normally have a few days to put Aphrodite to bed for the winter but this year we only have a day and a half.  Skip was talking about having another day to pack up but that meant that we have to drive straight to Belgium in a day - a matter of 400 or so kilometres......way too much methinks!!  So we have to get ourselves sorted in a day and a bit.
Skip had had a sleepless night in Winningen due to more toothache and did not have a very good drive back in heavy rain, lots of trucks and roadworks.  So he was very tired when he got back to St. Jean de Losne around 2 p.m.
Henk was on board putting more ropes on our fenders and Crew doing some odd jobs.  We all had a catch up and a bite of lunch and decided on a last dinner in town, so Henk booked us a table at Le  Bouchon Losnais.
A little aperitif on deck - we cracked open a bottle of Cremant, then we walked to the restaurant.  We have all decided that this was now the best restaurant in town and indeed the meal was superb.  We all had quail - something different to the norm which was cooked beautifully with a lovely sauce.
Back to the boat and an early night after a bit of TV.......we are all very tired!
