Weekend

It's seriously getting colder here...  Have a nice autumn weekend!

Canoe Testing

We have been testing our new canoe.
The kenderman transformed a trolley into a canoe cart.

You get such a different perspective from the water.....

One of my old time favourites "Zwanenbloem"
(aka grass rush, flowering rush, Butomus umbellatus)

Heading back home.

Canoe

Yesterday we bought a Canadian type canoe.

Because our car isn't suitable we had to loan my parents car.

In a couple of hours my father built an almost free DIY roof-rack. Thanks dad!

A quick stop to check all the knots again. (the trash isn't ours!)

I've been doing some work on this canoe.
It was decorated with a childish (probably fake American Indians pattern)
tape all around and some stickers.

This canoe is probably from the seventies but it looks very sturdy and cool.

We will have to take it for a testdrive as soon as it stops raining :)

Busy

We have been busy today.......

Kayaking

We have been kayaking on the Semois last friday.

It was stunning! The weather was good and the surroundings were just beautiful.

Demoiselle on my paddle.

We saw banks filled with Himalayan Balsam. 

 Kayaking kenders  :-)
I'm doing most of the paddling!!! The expression on my face is my proof ;-)

Demoiselle on the water-violet flower.

Bouillon.

We were visiting Bouillon one day too early.

This weekend it's the annual Medieval Fair in Bouillion.

If we would have known......
