We had parked right on the canal and woke up to beautiful sunshine. We checked on the computer and a lovely day was forecast so, after doing quite a lot of washing, we cycled south down the canal to a small village called Braux. We had a good look round the village, but there was no bar or shop. We had spotted an old lockkeepers cottage that had been converted to a B&B. They had a bar and so on the way back we stopped for a coffee. This was where Carole stepped into some dog dirt and Bill spent about 20 minutes trying to clean her sandal, much to our amusement. We met some Dutch people who had been away on their boat for a year and were heading back. They asked if we would take some photos and email them to them. Surprisingly, when we got back to the van later that afternoon they turned up and moored just by the vans. We did 20 miles on the bikes today. So far we must have travelled, in total, well over 100 miles, so the biking is going well. It’s not a good forecast tomorrow and we have decided to give the cycling a rest and head for Semur, which is a medieval town and hve a look around. We did a bit of work on the computer researching the places Raymond Blanc visited in his TV programme and made plans to visit a Michelin star restaurant in Beaune in a few days time.
