Detailed Plan of a Typical Narrow Boat

Certainly “cozy” but let’s face it, we love our little Casita. Besides there are outside spaces and one can take extra days to do their chosen trip as well.  For instance, you could take what would normally be a one week trip and stretch it into two weeks to further enjoy towns, Pubs, and the countryside along the way!

Day 18

Up and ready to go after a quick breakfast for John and coffee for both of us. As we approached the entrance there was Arthur, with is smiling face, to guide us in. That was a good thing as backing up is not something we have mastered. Actually, Arthur says there is very little control when going in reverse.

I tried several times to no avail. I called Capitol One to find out what the problem was and they said the first attempt was accepted and I should check with GWR why it said it wasn't. Next I called GWR and after talking to 2 people they finally realized I was in the US and said no out-of-country cards were accepted. Oh great!
