Today is sadly the day when my family should go back. We all feel that we have had a great and interesting time but as many nice things; there is an end to the fun. I take a walk through the town up to the train station where I reserved a rental car. It is a very nice woman sitting at the desk and after a discussion on the options; she gives me a free upgrade to a larger car. Good start of this day, as I should spend 10 hours behind the wheel.

As I come back – we pack the last stuff and clean the boat before we enter the car and set course to Paris. Nothing exciting to tell about this trip – a normal motorway trip topped with the toll stations. Here in France, the tolls are as expensive as the fuel when you travel.

It is sad to see the family go as it will take some weeks before I see them again. But it is nice to welcome the new Crew: Tony, Micke and Jocke. They had been touring Paris during the day and came out to the Airport just in time. After the 6 hour drive back, it is good to sit down and have a beer together.
