Its a good easy walk as its flat and whilst pretty boring looking for the most, the locks and some of the boats make up for it. See what I mean? This is 3 different spots along the canal all look pretty much alike

| This day we got caught in a thunderstorm, boy did we get wet!! Look lovely at this point |
This is one of the sets of locks, its a triple one, fascinating to watch
Then Homps which has a marina
Carcassone was a 45 minute walk from the locks in the first photos
Not sure I fancy a boating holiday but plenty of people seem to do it. I guess a much more leisurely pace, though we did see some funny maneuvers! I'll say nothing about women drivers...........
One year we stood at Buzet in blazing sunshine looking at Rick Steins "noddy boats"
ReplyDelete(Not quite sure what happened there!)
ReplyDeleteas they floated along and we thought that it would be a good holiday for us to try.\
So the next year we returned for a week on the canal and it rained every day. Put us off a bit.\
Come to think of it though, every time we hire a boat, it rains.\
All of your photos have been lovely, thank you so much for sharing.\

What a nice walk along the canal! Although I have to say I don't know how you were able to have a coffee, then continue walking. This is my huge problem when I travel. If I drink anything I need to know there are going to be washrooms nearby. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun boats! And the first pictures of the canal -- so peaceful.
