Bourg->Switzerland->Austria->Germany->Cezch Republik.

What a week!

We've been travelling heaps with my little clio across Europe! After a fews days chilling and resting in Bourg we decided that it was time to do something! So we packed up and started our trip towards Oetz in Austria where the sickline will be held in 2 weeks.

First stopped in one of the swiss coaches house Natalie, for the night and then arrived in Oetz in the morning.

The river was flowing at a good level, neither mike and I had paddled it before, and it was my second time in a creek boat! Last time was the Waoira in New Zealand 2 years ago. Having only one boat, Mike decided to go first and I could watch the lines he was taking. After two runs I finally hopped in the boat to take off on that 8m rock. It was a good feeling going down this section and will do some other ones in the coming week.

We then drove to Nurmber for an outdoor show (Kanumesse) and finally made it to Prague to pick up a boat for me.

We are leaving tomorrow for Augsburg to pick up one of Mike's friend and drive to oetz in the evening.

I tried to put some photos up but couldn't because of server problems. Though I'll be travelling with the kiwis for the nest 2weeks so you can check out Mike's blog www.mikekayak.blogspot.com to see what we are up to!

That's all for now,

Slan,

Ciaran.
