12 June 2012 Day 5 Narbonne to La Somail

After breakfasting on the boat, the majority of the group headed into the town to find the markets, whilst Jim and Bill topped up the water on the boat.  Took a while to find the markets

 but strolling through the town was interesting. Narbonne is a pretty and interesting town. The central square, the Via Domitia had a Roman Road in the centre of it.

We discovered the Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur cathedral tucked away in the back streets which were interesting strolling through.

The Information Office supposedly had free WiFi but unfortunately after wasting a frustrating amount of time there we couldn’t connect to do any updates.

We had a scrumptious lunch back on the boat with all the delicious wares purchased from the markets.

We then started our journey back up the Canal de Robine back onto the Canal du Midi, with strong squally winds and heavy rain showers.

Lynne opted to cycle back alongside the locks to start the opening process before we arrived at the locks.  

A short way along the Canal Du Midi and after crossing over the Cesse river on an aqueduct we arrived at the village of La Somail, where we tied up for the night and headed out for dinner at the restaurant Auberge Du Somail. Not only was it  an exquisite meal but they had wiFi that worked – yippee – finally the blog is up to date.
