Castelnaudary - Carcasonne 28 April

Left Castelnaudary with a plan to reach Villesquelande, a lttle village where we could find a mooring. When we arrived a Villesquelande we had passed 20 locks, with only 4 more to go to Carcasonne, and there was not much of a mooring. So we continued to Carcosonne where we arrived at 5.30 pm.

A cloudy and cool day, not a good day for  photographing. Twentyfour locks means that there is not much time for anything else than preparing for the next lock.

We had reserved a place in Carcosonne and found ourselves next to a boat with 6 South Africans, 4 from Centurion and 2 who lived in Australia.

Here they are having their skemerkelkie, that is evening beer!

took a photo of a strange horse in a field last night. Later yesterday morning a person walked by with two horses. Noticed that one of them had spots on the hindquarters. The person was dressed in a conspicuous way. Later this afternoon we passed the same person with the horses.

Have no idea what this means but this person has walked about 30 km along the Canal Midi with these two horses, with packs on.

Carcasonne seems like an interesting place with an ancient city nearby. We investigate tomorrow.

Supper on board, asparagus!
