Port Lauragais to Toulouse April 2009 |
|
|
|
Our plans were to paint NUSER. Rain, rain and hail destroyed our plans |
|
|
|
|
|
3 days without rain was enough to to grind and lacquer the mast |
|
|
We have almost forgot how NUSER looks without fenders. |
|
|
The spirit of France? |
|
|
Rain and hail can not stop the spring |

The last evening in Port Lauragais. Mona and Frits have arrived - this is the proof that they got some sun. |

It is not often that the Town Hall square is empty like this. |

Next to the Train station we have to pass a 6 meter deep lock. |
|
|
Due to the rain we had this "water fall" |
|
|
Now Canal de Garonne is a head of us.
