The final day, then off to Lisbon

We spent the last evening on board our barge, packing and resting.  Some people went on a guided tour, but we were really tired out from the day.  We got a hold of Teresa at work and that cheered us up.  It was sort of interesting that no one on the tour wanted to exchange email addresses or even last names.  We were only acquaintances and didn't really become friends.  We tried to open up spiritual conversations, but there were no takers.  When chatting with our guide, she said that the oldest person on this 312 km ride was a 89 year old German man.  We decided that it seems that people who are over 50 are doing these cycling tours. On Saturday morning we walked over to the train station (15 min) and then took the train to the airport, where we waited for about 4 hours (there was a time change we weren't aware of), we played cards, slept and walked about.  We realized why our flight was so cheap - Transavia doesn't even give you a drink of water for free - it's 3E!!!  And everything you buy is instant, including the coffee!  The hotel we chose from trip advisor was great; near a big shopping centre and the Metro.  All we did the first day is take care of laundry (paid 7E) and rested and relaxed.
