So, sitting on the barge - we went through the Tunnel of Riqueval ... The barge doesn't moter through on its own engine, it's towed 7km by an electric barge in front, which pulls itself along a chain running down the tunnel (under the water) ... There's lights and ventilation every so often, but it was bl@@dy good to see daylight at the other end ... The crew turned out the dining room lights, lit some candles, and we had a treat - some sort of small donut (I think in French a Beignet) to munch on - it takes 2hours top get pulled through the tunnel, btw
Hoping for better weather 2mrw and no throat issues
