Castlenaudary

Another beautiful day to wake up to. Tony and I headed off on our bikes through the beautiful tidy farmland with wheat & sunflower crops as far as the eye could see along with an attractive mix of trees to go with it. We arrived in the small village of Alzonne 2km inland from the canal where we bought freshly backed bread. What a delicious variety of baking so tempting. Then off back to the boat for breky. When the lock opened we were on our way again.

 We had many locks to go through today with doubles,triples and our 1st four so the day was gone before we knew it. By now we had arrived in a town called Castelnaudary.

If we can't find the men at the supermarket the 1st place we look is in the wine isle ~ you can guarantee they're always there.

We were all badly in need of a beer and a few supplies so we walked into the town centre enjoyed a cool beer found meat & veg then a delicious salad at a small restaurant where we chatted with an Aussie couple and a lovely old English couple. After this we decided to make our way up the canal a little further for the peacefulness of the countryside. It was a great time to travel at dusk as the countryside had a different light across it. We tied up about 10pm in the quiet.
