So a canal barge can be quite fun. I have just discovered a wonderful way of travelling today that was so peaceful and so relaxing that everyone should try it at least once in their lives.
People talked to me, gave me time of day, were polite, funny and generally cheerful. (Well there were a few exceptions but they were fisherman who didn't like the barge going past their lines and locals who didn't like day trippers)
The sheer experience of speeding at all of 3mph down a stretch of the Bradford on Avon to Bristol Canal and the utter rapidness of passing through a lock just wowed me. It is a completely different life and so absolutely outstanding. I cannot gush enough about it.
What can I say more, well First Grimm Brothers could learn a thing or two from the experience.
I wonder if a hot air balloon is just as relaxing..............?
