We're inland! Weird! Sally's never been above sea level before!
At the mo I'm in McDonald's in Carcassonne - the first bit of internet we've had for several days.
The canals are a bit shallow really. We keep going aground. We've been towed off once and winched ourselves off with ropes once, after I made a heroic leap ashore. We've got our lock technique off to a fine art now. But it's pretty knackering - a lot of rope handling - very very long ropes, too. I think the downhill ones, after Castelnaudary will be easier.
Carcassonne is pretty amazing. We had a look at the medieval fortified Cite today. The little French towns we go through on the canal are quiet, pretty and unspoilt. There are lots of wine chateaux, too. Lovely.
Shame it's been very cold a lot of the time.
Next stop, Toulouse.
Gotta get out of McDonalds.
