The lack of reliable internet signal has meant no blogs however, here we are anticipating the captain's dinner on our last night on the barge and what a week it has been. We may have started out with a few "skeptics" on board but we are now all confirmed "barging people". Our crew of six have bent over backward to accommodate our every whim. We have a Captain, Pilot, Chef,......and what a chef, deck hand and 2 stewardesses. I was unknowingly overhead telling Brenda that I had spotted a burgundy aged single malt scotch in a tiny shop in one of the Burgundian villages and, when we arrived back at the barge, one bottle was prominently displayed on our amazingly stocked bar. One night a jazz duo arrived on board for a pre-dinner jam which quickly morphed into a dance party and sing-along, delaying dinner in the process. No big deal to the crew!
The stories from this cruise will live on for many years I am sure. One week of perfect weather has not hurt either.
The pics are:
