More views on the waterway.  The cottages and boats houses are amazing.  Mind you these are only summer cottages.

 After coming through the Lovesick lock we tie up to the upper wall. Lovesick lock is actually an island and the lock attendants have to come to work and leave by boat everyday.

When we arrived the lock master told us about "The Spa" and how to get to it.  We had to walk across the "new dam", built in 1954, pictures to far left.  As you can see there is construction going on with large chunks of cement missing and the wooden board walks have hugh holes and no hand railings.  This would never fly in the US.

 So after walking across the new dam and the old dam, we came to this pool, "The Spa".  A stone wall was built in the river to create a pool.

Rene entering the spa.  Water is about 74 degrees

 The water is about 3 feet deep and there are nice flat rocks to sit on

This view is on the back side of the island.  The main waterway is in the back ground.

On our way back to the boat we noticed this sign and the rail.
This was so the canoes did not have or were not able to go through the lock.

Oh oh Lucy.... we got company.  We thought we were going to have the wall all to ourselves for a nice quite night.  At 5:30 pm, right when the locks were getting ready to close, these two house boats showed up.  There was no room fof them to tie up on the lower wall so they had to stay with us.  Between the 2 boats there were 2 families, 14 people.  I don't know how they all fit.  They were quite and respectful of us being there and we did the same for them.
