Getting ready for Boat transport

Okay, well we're in Port-sur-Saone now after a one day trip from Gray. We are going to be working in the rain today to get Circe ready for transport. They are going to lift her and then take her to Travemunde. We will get there the day after tomorrow. I wish we could carry on but I know that my parents only want the best for us. It would still be a funny story to tell. It would go like this:
Last summer we were going to travel through the channels of France and Germany with our new boat. So we traveled through Rhone and got to Saone. The first place in Saone that we stayed in was Gray. Then we went to Scey-sur-Saone and stayed there one night before we went back downstream. We went through a few locks on Canal-du Champagne-Bourgogne. The day after that we went back upstream to Gray. We stayed there for a couple of days. We organised a transport for Circe and then we went upstream to Port-sur Saone. We lifted Circe and took her to Travemunde in Germany. We rented a car and drove there. And after that we went from Travemunde and home. Thank you for listening :P

A place where you can swim. We have gone swimming in Gray  once.

Well anyway, we still got through most of France. And now we have seen a lot of the city Gray. :P /Hanna :P

In Chalon sur Saone!!! :P

Last Sunday we went from Condrieu to Lyon. They have a lovely, new, little harbour and they have room for 20 boats, but I think that they are going to need a lot more because people are going to want to stay there. Their architecture is so cool and they have a building that looks like a big cheese. Even the apartments are really cool, because they all look different and have really cool details like uneven windows, balconies that look like you can fold them up, and a little bridge in between the different houses. Anna-Karin came the second day we were there and before we fetched her we climbed up on a mountain where we saw that there was a church and a small copy of the Eiffel Tower. We went to Macon the next day and it seemed like it was a harbour for smaller boats but we stayed there for a night anyway. Anna-Karin loves to steer so I'm going to show you a photo of when she is doing just that :P Today we went from Macon to Chalon sur Saone, and now we are sitting in a calm, beautiful, little cafe where they have wifi. It is pouring down rain outside and there is thunder and everything, but this is the first day that it's raining. Here are some photos:
