Sunday 25 March

The clocks changed from West European time to WE summer time so we lost another hour. It wasn’t really a surprise to me that I only woke at 10.30 on the new time. Fortunately we then had plenty of time to sort ourselves out and check out by 12.00, then just cross over the road to the lovely deli for brunch.

Having refuelled, we set off to walk along the side of the lake in the centre of the city. We found ourselves on a path along the waterside, amongst the locals, jogging, cycling or walking, mainly the former. Under the steely pearl grey clouds, it was cold, but it was so good to have a long walk, outside, and enjoy the fresh air, after the prolonged winter.

We will have to get one of these for our balcony.

We arrived back at the hotel to pick up our bags and headed for a train an hour earlier than originally planned but there seemed no sense in hanging around.

We arrived in Fehman early evening, in nice time to check in to our hotel and relax with a good dinner.

It’s feeling very much like the beginning of a new adventure, despite mild concern as to how we will find the boat. Have we judged it right leaving her in a cold shed? Will all the work be done? These questions will be answered tomorrow.
