Penny's entry - Phew! Had such trouble getting on-line. Finally managed it in Starbucks (!) at Ely but only on Sarah's laptop, so sadly cannot download photos from my camera yet. Hopefully soon..... We managed 5 locks - all different - and now must reach Denver Sluice before dark. Very hot, hard work, friendly people, herons, a kingfisher, swans, dogs and people swimming in the river. Forgot to get back on the boat at one lock and ended up scrambling through thistles and nettles, and over streams to reach Sarah and launch myself onto the boat over stretch of mud! Feels as though we have been cruising on the boat for a week already! Internet about to be cut off! Bye!
