In Avignon!

Even if the wind was really bad we decided to move from Port Napoleon in to Port Saint Louis on Friday late afternoon. On Saturday we filled diesel carrying cans from the gas station to the boat. It was hard work!
On Sunday we locked 15 cm into Rhone and started our journey. In five and a half hours we reached Arles where we were suppose to buy the ticket for all the locks. But believe it or not - there was no place for us to moor! Finally we found a place on the side of a restaurant boat. We found out that the VNF-office (where you buy the vinjette/ticket) was closed and didn't open until today. So we stayed for the night. I just wonder how people, who want to buy the ticket in Arles do if they can't moor next to a restaurant boat.

This morning we bought the vinjette and then headed off. We made our first huge lock, 12 meters. Everything went fine! Now we are in Avignon - a beautiful city with A LOT OF traffic! See you in the next internet café...
