Well, we are going tomorrow for our final visit to the barge and to collect the last payment.
We are on a friend's boat at the moment... they are from Tasmania and due to his illness, can't make it over to France this year. They are putting the barge on the market and it has to be delivered from one port to another, a 3 day trip. So we are slaving away (chuckle-chuckle) moving the boat down the canal! How lucky can we get. We leave our barge and walk onto another boat!
We will stay on this boat (named Syracuse) for another 2 weeks before gathering up all of our belongings from the barge (which are packed in boxes and sitting in another friend's garage in Toulouse) and taking them back to Switzerland.
Future plan is for us to buy a small trailer and I will drive our car and trailer behind Peter on the scooter, through the South of France, and then up to Switzerland. We figure it will take a week. We will go on smaller roads and only travel maybe 250 kms per day. If it rains, we won't travel at all. We will stay in Chambre d'Hotes along the way, the French equivalent to a B&B. Doesn't that sound like good fun?!!
