When we finish a season there is always time to reflect on how it went, how we did and so on. This time I started to wonder about how often we do certain things. gps airline flight tracker So ..here are some fun facts and figures for you.
This year we cruised for a total of 16 weeks. We cleared about a total of 464 locks (and that s just the weeks that we cruised with guests -it s quite a lot more if you factor in the moving of the boat between cruises!). The deepest lock is over 5 meters and the smallest less than 2 meters.
We had 80 guests on board the youngest was 5 and the oldest was 87!!!! Meanderer is truly a barge for all ages ..the French canals offer all kinds of attractions and although it may not seem the right kind of vacation for young people gps airline flight tracker you d be surprised at what we can find to do outside of our normal routines.
The dishwasher ran about 560 times, washing a total of about 3000 glasses!!!!!!!!! Which means that we polished about 3000 glasses too! and then the plates, silverware, serving dishes you get the picture.
We crossed the famous gps airline flight tracker Pont Canal de Briare about 35 times. For a long time it was the longest such aqueduct in the world measuring 662 meters. That is always one of the highlights for our guests. Cruising over the Loire river pretty amazing and so beautiful. The views are spectacular.
I picked kilos and kilos of raspberries this year at the Chateau of la Bussiere (my next blog will be on the Chateau so visit back soon) and made jars and jars of jam! Chef made all kinds of spectacular dishes and ice-creams and sorbets featuring raspberries. Yum!
We visited Fontainebleau, Vaux le Vicomte, Samois-sur-Seine, Nemours, Moret-sur-Loing, Grez-sur-Loing, Ferrieres-en-Gatinais, Chateau Landon, Montargis, Montbouy, Chatillon Coligny, Gien, La Bussiere, St Fargeau, Guedelon, Briare, Sancerre, Chatillon-sur-Loire and probably other places I ve forgotten!
