Would like to be on a narrowboat for a bit, not sure that I could handle such a long trip, though.

 

Yes, two weeks is a long trip, especially if it is ones first. We were crewed by experienced canal cruisers and got the second week at a huge discount. And so we were able to travel a long way without turning back.

 

Most canal holidays are only a week, and indeed Dan takes two 1-week canal breaks annually. One can also book fewer days than a week, and day hire is also possible.

That sounds like a great holiday! So unique compared to the other cruises we hear about on these boards. Thanks for sharing, and for all the pictures.

Thanks for your concern over Krisie's fall. She and Dan are spending this weekend with us, so I asked about her recovery. She says that she took two days off work then was on light duties, but she's better now.

 

It only hurts now when she coughs - unfortunately she's coughing a lot this weekend as she caught a cold - for which she blames Dan!

Glad to hear she is on the mend, I know what it's like having a bad cough with damaged ribs. I badly bruised mine once then ended up with pneumonia. It wasn't fun at all. Hope she gets better soon.
