This was an exercise in travelling the French waterways:
- in the wrong direction >>>>
- in the wrong sort of boat >>>>
- at the wrong time of year >>>>
- at the wrong time of life >>>>
- and enjoying the experience as much as possible >>>>
So, all things considered, are we glad we went? With so many positives (see ‘enjoying’ above) that’s a firm ‘yes’.
Would we do the same trip again next April? Probably not.
However, if we had an inland cruiser/barge (with heating and a shower cubicle) slightly later in the year (warmer weather and weaker currents) it might be a different matter!
Dream on…
