Day 5 on the Canal

We had a late start to our day with the weather looking very promising but it wasn't to last. 

Since we started out from Argens on the Mediterranian side we have been going up hill through the locks. Today we reached the  Roc lock at an altitude of 190 meters our highest point. From now we are are going down hill towards the Atlantic and we can't believe how much easier it is going down the locks ~ you hardly know anything is happening its all so gentle and without the mist from the canal water coming at you as you go up through the locks.
A typical lunch stop with wine cheese and pâté.
After lunch I biked a few kms along the canal track and caught up with the boat at a lock. We topped up with water before stopping in a quiet place for the night. Good timing as by then a steady rain had begun..
