This town's a dump

We moved on today, about 20 k, we knock ourselves out!!!!! The first place we wanted to stop didn't have any of the signs that say you can stay overnight, nor did it have bollards, we'd have to hammer in pegs, so though it was lovely, we kept going.  Not fun being told to move at 7pm for example.  We had a couple of bridges where we had to wait 15 min or so, but it was otherwise quite uneventful.  We made it down to Leimuiden, tied up with other boats in a bit of a park.  A power boat came in and tied off immediately ahead of us, stern to stern.  Not much privacy there, though they didn't have a lot of choice at the time.  I was hoping they'd leave as it is the last day of a long weekend.  Nope.  So when Chuck and I came back from our walk around this fairly dismal town we turned the boat so our bow was off their stern. They kinda should have moved first as the were last one in, but whatever.

Walking around town, there was even a guy missing some teeth wearing a confederate flag flat back style cap with 'rebel' written on it.  The fact that he was riding a Dutch sit up and beg bike detracted a bit from the image, but still.

On another note, we're currently quite the erudite boat!!!! The man is reading Herodotus and I'm digging into the Russians!!!! So far so good.

We'll move on tomorrow.
