1 April 2011: Boat Cruise Day Fifteen

Lucks a fortune and since being in Europe, we have noticed numerous signs for the local Lotto. Before we left Homps on the boat, the four of us decided to purchase a ticket, just for interest sake. Well guess what….we won first division!!!!!!!! Ten million Euros, that’s two million five hundred Euros each…….we’re not coming back as planned……..

If you believe that, you really are an April’s fool.

This morning we split up to have a good look around Marseillan and agreed to meet again at around 1.00 pm to have lunch together. Marseillan is a really nice place and probably the pick of the towns we have visited on the boat. Michelle and I went to Noilly Prat to taste their goods and came away with four bottles, one very happy lady amongst us.

We met up with Mark and Dominique at one of the local restaurants and had a lovely time choosing our food from an all-French menu. Michelle ended up with snails on her entrée plate so I thought I would give them a go for the first time in my life. Not bad, but probably not something I would race out and buy again.

We had to leave Marseillan by 2.30 pm so that we were in our final mooring place by 6.30 pm. The boat had to be returned the next morning to Casafierres and thus our boat trip would come to an end. It’s been a great experience but Barcelona beckons tomorrow, so it just keeps getting better and better.

The day ended for me with a little lay down to ease the pain in my backside from that slip on deck yesterday. The others took off on a bike ride, that was out of bounds for me.
