We left this morning with Martin back to his usual effusive self, and set off for Buzet-Sur-Baise, and I have to say it was a really pretty stopping place. Four euro’s per night, two euro’s for a shower, and two euro’s for unlimited fresh water total for the overnight stop 10 euro’s – best price so far (apart from the free ones) and putting Sables D’Olonne into second place; as they had charged us 11 euro’s.
Martin decided that he needs to push on now, as he has fallen behind in his overall timetable to motor up through the rivers and canals of France to reach Calais and then up the east coast of England to home. We wished him the best of luck, and asked that he doesn’t take undue risks and keeps himself safe.
Sara and I then got out the folding bikes (a gift from John and Sue) and peddled up to the town to get provisions etc. Then it was back to the boat to watch the final disc of “Lost”. As you may recall we bought the boxed set of this series, and by watching the occasional episode it has lasted since we left Scotland – pretty good purchase at the sales. Perhaps we might strike lucky and find another boxed set of programmes we never watched when they were running on TV…..perhaps “24” or The Sopranos (?) would be good.
You are silly billys. Should have told us you wanted DVD sets – we’ve got the the 3 sets of ’24’ spare plus 2 sets of Prison Break. We found when we got bored we got suckered into watching first one episode at a time, then two, and sometimes if it was raining we’ve stock up on chockies and sit through as many as 6!
Glad to read you’re enjoying the canal – and as you said – I guess your travelling mate was most appreciative of your company in that lock.
Anyone, love for now, take care
JOHN and SUE xx
