We have begun our return journey by leaving Verdun and heading downstream now, back through the 9 manually operated locks and some increasingly heavy downpours at times. It’s interesting to return on the same river and see all things you missed behind you on the way upstream.

Some of the heaviest rain so far on this leg of the journey, but it was nice enough to turn into a light drizzle at most of the locks and it quit raining completely just long enough for us to dock for the night back in Dun-sur-Meuse. Time to dry out.
