The first lock we had to operate ourselves but they are really easy on the Thames as they are all electrified.
At the second lock, the lock keeper was really nice and let Sarah press the buttons to operate the lock, she was so good he offered her a job, which included squash and chocolate biscuits!
As we headed on the boat seemed to be zig-zagging quite a bit, it was only on looking back we realised we had a new captain, Annita was at the helm.
Only joking about the zig-zagging she did really well.
You can also just see in top right of the picture a Kite we have seen quite a few of these beautiful birds over the last couple of days, very majestic!
George is loving the extra crew and all the attention that he is getting.
We then passed through Benson and stopped at the Shillingford Bridge Hotel.
Sarah has been practising her skipping and we are off to play Pooh sticks before we have a lovely evening meal at the Hotel (well we hope it will be lovely!)
