... and a piece of cake and contemplated how badly mistreated the lovely old building over the road had been over the years. Also, outside this cake shop we found the dog, asleep, that had followed us around town for half an hour earlier in the day. We kept telling him that he didn’t belong to us, but every time we stopped to look at something, he’d wait and then carry on with us when we continued! Perhaps we’d worn him out by here as he continued to sleep ...

Līeau est marron car tres terreuse et le sol vaseux est visqueux mais la baignade est tres agreable et on peut jouer dans les vagues des nombreux bateaux bus. Le soir nous dinons dans le resto du camping, un peu glauque.

There are many boat-clubs and rowers fill the numerous rivers and channels that this area is famous for, navigating between the bus-boats and tour ships. We took a bus-boat to a nearby place. Upon disembarking we just walked under the weeping willows soaking up the heat, along the canals ...
