LA LYS

We've just had a weeks trip along La Lys. It's a beautiful windy river, very calm with hardly any boats in sight. It reminded us of part of the Thames (apart from the lack of boats) with trees hanging over the river which sometimes got in the way! 

We had our own éclusier (lock keeper) for the week. He would ask us when we wanted the next lock/lifting bridge preparing and would then race off ahead of us to get it ready.

We found some lovely moorings, superb weather and had most of our meals on the back deck al fresco! We even got the gang plank out which we don't often use.

It wasn't the most happening area, but we found some bars which were 'ok'. 

A great week!
