We bowled
up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to the Strasbourg North lock that takes us back
onto the Rhine this morning – only to be told over the radio that it was closed
because the water in the river was too high. Bit of a bummer!
After some
discussion, rather than return to our mooring of the past two days, we decided
to take a leisurely excursion on the Marne au Rhin canal – in the company of
lots of hire boats. We had a pleasant lunch on the tow path, then returned to a
spot about three locks out of Strasbourg. Phone calls suggest that we should be
able to get going properly tomorrow morning: apparently the water level is
going down.
Lunch
featured an excellent corn, carrot and apple salad with ham. Tonight its
barbecued chicken legs with baked potatoes. And wine supplies are holding up!
No pix today.
