Neat , eh?
Once through the lock into Utrecht , we made a hard right and tied up for the night. Fairly expensive, like Denmark was, at 18.70 for the night, though this included electricity and showers, so, not so bad.
At that price we weren't sure we'd stay for the two days we'd initially planned so off we went to view the city, and it is really lovely. Filled with young students tons of cafés pretty buildings and canals. There's no overriding massive tourist site and I suspect that a large percentage of the tourists are Dutch.
While wandering around the man smelled pizza and really wanted some. It was good and cheap, so why not!
Mmmmmmm pizza!!!!
The man's walking shoes were also so worn out they reminded me of a song originally written by Hank Williams but who I know from the Little Willies, Ain't no getting out if this world alive. On it he says, 'These shabby shoes I'm wearing lord / they're full of holes and nails. / And brother if I stood on a worn out dime / I bet a nickle I could tell you if it's heads or tails! Walking on cobbles left his feet hurting for a week.... So we were kind of thinking about shoe stores. Sadly Decatlon was a long way out of town and the North Face store was a little out of our budget, and then we saw Intersport, a chain in Catalunya too, they sell good sportswear at not ridiculous prices, and they had a 70% off sale!!!! Yippeee, the man has new shoes!!!!
Not a bad day out!!! Then back to the boat to charge everything up with the already paid for electricity!!!!
