We started very early
and came through the lock of the canal at about 9.30 last night. This gave us enough time to have two pints of beer whilst watching a football match between Portugal and Iceland.
My friend Laura who knows Germany very well says that the Elbe is a very busy river as it leads up to Hamburg We can certainly vouch for that and several big ships passed close by during the day.The tide is very strong and we were pleased to have arrived at the right time to get the most benefit from it.
Today we have made a gentle trip towards Kiel and are now staying in Rensberg which is a quaint town on the banks of the canal.
Tomorrow ,sadly, my friend Steve returns home via Copenhagam then we will continue our journey until we hopefully reach Kiel tomorrow afternoon
