Hard going to Trebes

The rule on the road is 'wash your own clothes' . Only 2 of the 8 are mine though. Are blokes just cleaner or more economical? 

  They put on a nice breakfast in the garden, then we saddled up and off ! (With his key I'm afraid ) 2nd time that's happened

The tracks getting bumpier as we pass through Ventinac and then Argen Minervois. 

We pass a school outing on a long section where the trees have been felled. Not far on a council worker was watering silver oaks I think. The replacements.

Struth there's a lot of Aussies in hire boats . This English yachtie who was sharing a lock with three of them, reckoned they learn to drive in dodgem cars !

CRASH ! FAIR SUCK OF THE SAV MATE !

He was on his way back home after sailing to Cyprus. He made the yacht 25 years ago.

These spillways are so the canal stays a fairly constant level

  The constant bumping today is giving my back a bit of trouble so we tried to find lanes going our way. Got so lost I had to ask a LaPoste driver the way back to the canal. 

Meanwhile, while I was taking a photo, this fellow caught us up. Christine thought it was me and was raving on about head winds , bloody French sign posts, blah blah!  She got the fright of her life when he pulled out and passed her with a polite " Bon jour Madame "

 It's a windy area when you see heaps of these things. AND it was coming straight at us

My speedo's bumped off somewhere so the map says we went 53kms. Probably add 5 to that going in circles. Anyway ,we're in Trebes and that pool outside  our window looks inviting
