Re-assured the illness was nearing its conclusion we headed off the next day on the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris. Another day with no change, not even able to keep water down, we had a doctor in to see her. This time, equipped with a prescription to stop her vomiting, things changed drastically overnight...kids are so amazing!
I managed to find a nice little sailing vessel to have a look over with a background you don't find on your average UK canal. I've seen Daleks but no skull rocks.
Four days in Disneyland was just right...for me anyway! The six of us were picked up by our driver and headed into Paris to catch the Eurostar back to London. I chatted to the driver as we slowly made our way into Paris, he told me that we had joined a 100 kilometer traffic jam, fortunately for us not at the end of it!
Arriving back in London we picked up a couple of cars and headed north for our overnight stop in Stoke-on-Trent. After a good nights sleep Rachael and I headed down to the marina for breakfast at the pub overlooking the marina. A short walk over to Serafina, we could see she had been well looked after, de-winterised and serviced ready for the cruising season ahead. First job when we get back on-board will be a wash and a polish. I had a chat to the engineer who told me the solar panels, installed last season, had worked a treat and the batteries were fully charged and ready to go.
We had organised to meet our carpenter, who was supposed to have completed work over the winter but not a blow had been struck! A quick discussion with him, a promise of the work being completed next week and we headed for Scotland to spend a week with family.
