Passenger boats are bullies!

Notching up the kilometres as we head downstream at a steady 10km/hour, but two young boys need to rack up a similar mileage as well. Stopped for lunch at Trevoux and moored up under the footbridge and within sight of a playpark. The boys raced off to explore whilst we tidied the ropes, marvelled at the size of passing ships and made lunch.

However, our plan to stay and explore was thwarted by the arrival of a passenger boat which had priority on that mooring and we had to make a hasty departure.
As we approached the city of Lyon the frequency of potential moorings increased and we chose a splendid spot at St Germain au Mont D’Or where the boys could play happily.
