…got back from a quite adventurous canoeing-trip near Tonsberg…
We started off in the morning at 9 a.m. with our spanish armada to another excursion… The best of it – the university pays for these excursions and that means we don’t have to pay anything!!! (isn’t that great!!!???) As spanish people are NO lame people they were singing the whole 1h bus ride to the woodlands… That was really funny;-)… I think the bus driver wasn’t used to having a fiesta early in the morning…
We got to a beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere, hopped off the bus and settled the canoes… Kari-Anne gave us an introduction “how to use the canoes” and except from Kathi, Siles and me no one of the others have ever been on a canoe before… It’s sooo interesting when different cultures get together!!! We have Ramish from India, two girls from Ecuador, Katie, Siles and Tori from the States and let me just think – 10!!!! spanish amigas and amigos and me from Austria… So quite international… And they really appreciate getting out there and exploring nature!!!
It was raining the whole time we spent on the lake paddling and everybody got soooo soaking wet but everybody enjoyed the trip!!!!
Ramish, from India didn’t get it how to use the paddle but therefor he had a strong Spanish guy at the back, steering and paddling… It was sooo funny because they were always somewhere stuck or going the wrong direction;-)..
