Day 12- Canal Trip


Today was such a lovely day! We decided to go explore the little town by the canal that looked so pretty when we drove through it the other day! It was very pretty, and there were a surprising amount of things to keep you occupied~ there was a shop on one of the canal boats which was very colourful! We then got distracted by a gorgeous grey cat at the canal edge who was very friendly! After exploring the town a little bit we were excited to find a mother duck and a group of ducklings! They were too cute! 
We watched them paddle about in the water for a bit till they eventually got hassled away by the mother who had obviously had enough haha~






It was then decided that we'd hire a little motor boat for an hour or so which was so much fun! It was really fun to see all the boats along the canal and we all took it in turns at steering. It was a lot harder than it looked as the boat took longer than expected to respond! Jake and Sam made it look so easy on their turns so when I finally decided to be big and brave it didn't quite go according to plan~ let's just say I don't think I'll be steering another boat anytime soon haha! Naturally, a lot of exciting things happened on the way, as beginners we were expected to keep to the right when boats were passing, which worked until we came across a mahoosive boat! They clearly couldn't decide what to do as their boat was going around in circles, but it provided quality entertainment for the rest of us as we experienced Sam in panicked captain mode~ Jake got the bridges and when it came to my turn I got the delight of curious ducks~! It was so much fun though!







Lizards!
