The Mistral is still blasting us and the poor tomato plants on deck look brown and withered. Decided to take the day off and walk into Donzere where we discovered a pretty medieval town of cobbled streets, crumbling ramparts and narrow alleys. Stocked up on fresh fruit at the market and then retreated, exhausted from the incessant buffeting from Le Mistral, back to Lobelia.
Later that night we were aware of a barge pulling alongside us. “Lucania” a commercial boat from Belgium needed somewhere to moor for the night and like us they were struggling to find any suitable moorings. Quays in the towns have been monopolised by the enormous cruise ships or just left to decay. The couple were very pleasant and chatted to us for a while and even took a quick tour of Lobelia.
