The Tuesday Night Club on Tour
Tour 2010
7 - Epagne Epagnette to Amiens, Canal de la Somme.
Thursday 3rd June 2010
08:15 departure from Epagne Epagnette. 1150, exit Lock No 22 Long. Just before Lock No 21 a "shadow" Sommelier in his little orange van started shouting to us "Vite vite!"...we thought he was moaning at us, but when he pointed at his watch, we realised he wanted us to "go for it", so we got Lock No21 before his extended dinner hour. We made Lock No 21 Labreilloire by 12:00 and were out at 12:20, in time for a (rare for the Somme) lunch on the move. Today had been another hot one, so it was stop in Amiens (17:45), below the lock on the University moorings (we think this is the quietest mooring spot in Amiens) The St Leu district was rather different from out last stop. The Quai Bélu restaurants full and area buzzing with people. OK set meal in the Le Bélu restaurant.
We ended up mooring with NB Wandering Snail. Epagne Epagnette. Somme Canal.
