While Margaret has been away I've been revarnishing the pigeon boxes (raised windows on the coach deck) for the salon and bedroom. Great fun scraping off all the old varnish, sanding, resanding and then 7 or 8 coats of varnish. The good news is that when you get to the varnish stage you can only do one coat a day. So it's time for a bimble around Metz. Almost opposite Soraya's mooring is a white water facility. It is an old water course that connects 2 courses of the Moselle river. As there are locks, barrages etc there is a substantial level difference between the 2 courses. When required they drop part of the barrage and the torrent flows. Very popular and right in the city centre, 200m from the cathedral.
A few of the dozens of skilled fun seekers.
Obviously there are many sights in the city many are touristy. The cathedral, the Musée de la Cour d'Or, the various 'Places', Imperial District etc. Sometimes it is the little things that amuse. In a back street I came across this takeaway. Perhaps the owner is suffering from 'delusions of grandeur'.
'Palace of the Sun'. I don't think so.
If the photograph of the frankfurter is his main attraction I don't think he will be seeing any of my custom.
