Sitting in a quiet, windless harbour called Les Roches-de-Condrieu :D

Today we went from Valance to Les Roches-de-Condrieu and it took 14 hours (although I slept for 3 of them :D). It was partly because we had to wait 2 hours at the second lock and 1½ hours at the third lock for them to let us in. In the second lock they had to let a big barge through first, which carried dangerous goods and that means that we can not use the lock at the same time as them. At the third lock I think he was just being lazy because they are allowed to wait for a commercial boat for 20 minutes but he waited for 1 hour. In the lock there was a big cargo ship and then except for us there were 2 other pleasure boats. So in total there were 3 other boats in the lock which is the highest number of boats that we have locked with. We arrived here at 8:45pm. Yesterday we bought a kind of trolley that you pull, that carries groceries and other stuff that you don't want to carry. After 5 minutes it was broken and we had only walked a couple of hundred meters. Not particularly durable...

Here are some photos:

An old boat that probably was a military ship a long time ago.

The barge that carried dangerous goods. You can se that by the blue cone. It is by one of the locks.

The same nuclear power station.

A little city along the road- or river as we can say... :D

The trolley

The weels fell off :P

My dad and I carried the trolley after it broke.

A swan family

A city along the way. They had gardens on their roofs. :P

Steering again :D

Where we are now. Les Roches-de-Condrieu.
