Monday 12th to Wednesday 14 August
With the arrival of Fern and Sean, it was an opportunity to both take them on a "cruise" through Lyon on Tuesday and see some of the sights of the city on Wednesday. We set off upstream on Tuesday, with no real plans other than to stop somewhere for lunch. So we tied up to the north of Lyon at an official fluvial halte big enough for a single boat expecting to eat on board, only to discover at the top of the ramp and across the road (all hidden from the river) a fantastic restaurant (La Bastide) where we enjoyed a first-class and reasonably priced lunch.
On Wednesday morning despite hangovers we ventured to old Lyon prior to waving them on their way back to the airport after a very mediocre restaurant lunch. It was really great having them both on board.
