It was very pleasant, as the day was a little cloudy and the sun wasn't burning so mercilessly. The cool breeze on the water was good, as was the peace and quiet. All in all, very relaxing. Until the moment the locks open. All the guests get very excited and try to get the best spot on the railing to watch the spectacle. I think the lock trips are always a highlight for everyone.
