Met the time schedule with the van but then had several hours to wait for the work to be done. As intrepid as ever we went exploring further around Amiens. Particularly further through the St Leu area and the University precinct. Along the walk we came across the statue of Lafleur, the famous marionette, who is the ardent defender of the Picardie dialect. Shows are staged within his theatre here in the St Leu district.
Regardless of where you go the every presence of the great cathedral is in your view. So, another visit - early in the morning - and there was only one or two others sharing the silence.
Another hour had gone before we realised it, so back to the garage and the injured Hilton. It took a little longer than expected but we on the road by lunch.
We drive through some fine Picardian countryside before arriving at our canal stop at Pont l'Eveque.
