Description
A Barge at Large by Jo May is an account of the authors' experiences living and travelling on a Dutch barge in Europe. In 2007, Jo and Jan May purchased an old barge that required significant repairs, but they persevered to create a home on wheels. The book chronicles their adventures as they navigate rivers, lakes, and canals, encountering new cultures, people, and challenges along the way. Life on a barge is one of compromise, with limited space but great freedom, and the authors learned to adapt and improve their living situation over time. They share stories of the joys and quirks of life on the water, including encounters with wildlife, windmills, and local cuisine like Snert, an explosive pea and ham soup. The book offers a unique perspective on alternative lifestyles and travel, as the authors explore new countries and discover the beauty in unexpected places. Their six-month journey from central Netherlands to Burgundy in France was a highlight of their adventure, and this memoir is a testament to the rewards of embracing the unknown.
