More Research!!

A few days ago, the book I ordered, called "The River Thames" arrived.  I've been reading through the sections of this book that cover the areas we'll travel and adding notes to my trip guide.

I've already written many notes for the trip and now I'm concentrating on where we'll moor each night.  David has given me the towns he hopes will be our stops for each night.  It's always a best bet to stay in a marina, but sometimes they are not so convenient.  For example, I'm looking at the town of Reading where we'll probably stay the second night.  There are three marinas.  One is on an island and another one is in the middle of nowhere!  Having carefully looked over maps and Google earth, I think our mooring place should be along the side of the river in the busy part of town so we can walk or bike to restaurants or for sightseeing.
