Johanna's guestbook

Wij zijn met een bevriend koppel enkele nachten te gast geweest bij de B&B “JOHANNA” te Brugge.
De ontvangst was spontaan en hartelijk. Indien gewenst krijg je direct de nodige informatie om Brugge te gaan verkennen. De kamers waren zeer proper en goed in orde. Het ontbijt is zeer gevarieerd en uitgebreid met voor elk wat wils. Zelfs bij een regenachtige dag hebben we volop genoten van de gezelligheid bij jullie. Het was een zeer aangenaam verblijf en we komen zeker nog eens terug,

Our family was looking for a place to celebrate several milestones this year. Your barge has provided the perfect setting to enjoy and celebrate these occasions while leaving us with everlasting memories.
We selected the Johanna based on the travel stops and locations in the Champagne region, your cooking reputation and barge experience.
We have had a tremendous time, from our first step on deck we were not disappointed. The food has been fantastic, the wine and champagne perfect and abundant.
We appreciate your passion! It makes you great hosts. The van tours to towns and champagne houses was great, fun and educational.
We are very thankful for you in allowing us to invite our family friends from Chateau-Thierry on board for lunch. This was very special as they shared stories from WW2.
Thank you for being great hosts, we appreciate your endless energy in providing the best tour down the Marne.
We wish you all the best! Sincerely

Never could we have imagined how fabulous this barge cruise could be! You exceeded every expectation with your warm hospitality and incredible culinayr feats! Absolutely everything was perfect!
We have loved getting to know each of you and wish you all the best with the Johanna.
This has been the trip of a lifetime and we will never forget the best vacation --- ever! We hope to see you again. So, until we meet again we will say Au revoir, y'all! All the best.

We came to the Johanna and Champagne as a reason, as if one was needed, for six friends to enjoy time with one another. There is nothing more unusual and precious than a good friend. We were blessed to have these. We came six friends, departing as nine!
Thank you Patsie, Kris and William. You have participated in memories that will be reviewed, recanted and rejoiced to every friend and family member of ours throughout our lives!

5 stars to Johanna and crew!
Thank you for a most magical and relaxing experience - and so historical and informative! We so enjoyed you all, the conversations, the tours, the enchanting cruising, and of course, the wonderful "cuisine de Patsie", and superb wine and champagne! And Patsie, thank you so much for sharing recipe hints + guidance + advice (and cookbooks!) and of course the Friday market in Chateau-Thierry!
Kris, your technical and navigation skills and knowledge are amazing - as is Johanna's mighty engine.
We truly hope to join you again in the future! All our best.

Writing this is bittersweet... Basically it means that we are near the end of this incredible adventure of ours. Anything I write in these pages would not come close to the level of appreciation we have for what you have done for us. From going on amazing tours to eating fantastic gourmet meals... Seriously, Patsie, give yourself a bow! To relaxing and letting life's problems slip away on the Johanna, we can't thank you enough. This has been the vacation of a lifetime for the three of us and you both have exceeded our expectations. There is an expression in America that sums up how we feel right now... Our experience on the Johanna is "The Cherry on Top".
Merci et Bon Chance!
Love, Mimi

The sad end of a happy week! Wonderful sights, food, company and experience. Thank you for making the first (and we hope not the last) barge trip such a succes.
Forgot to say: the "Dame Blanche" will never be forgotten.
