17 May - Maasbracht
Another wet, cold, grey day in Maasbracht after two, fairly sunny days. We assisted Sequel being taken out of the water and visited her inside the Linssen factory with the variotop lowered and the cover being put on. No sign of the boat transporter and after a bit of a drama about whether the stabilisers should be removed or not, which they had to be, we abandoned Sequel and hope (now Tuesday afternoon in Dijon) that she is safely on her way to St Jean de Losne.

After a long train journey starting from Roermund in The Netherlands at 1.30 p.m, changing at Maastricht, then Lille, and then via Paris, we finally arrived in Dijon at 9.40 p.m. tired, hungry and then very grumpy as hotel was awful. But happy today as we have changed hotels and walked all around Dijon, particularly enjoying the market this morning and lunch. Next big decision is where to eat tonight!
Short train journey tomorrow a.m. to St Jean de Losne - cant believe we have - nearly - made it there. More tomorrow when we have!
Hi
ReplyDeleteSo by now you should be reunited with your baby!! Hope she has weathered the indignity of being trailed half way across France and you are all back in the water - not you two just Sequel. Lok forward to the next installment.
Bon Voyage

Hopefully you are now back on the boat to commence the next stage of your travels. I thought you were hiring a car to follow Sequel but at least on the train you can sit back & relax! We are back home now after being up North. Shiraz was attacked by another dog on Monday evening who picked him up and wouldn't let go. Spent yesterday at the vets he now as a 4 inch square shaved on his back and about 12 stitches - bless him. Enjoy the waterways of France. Love K & V x
ReplyDeleteHope Dijon cut the mustard.
