Flapser goes kayaking in the river Amblève - Ardennes, Belgium - 19 May 2007

19 May we went kayaking in the river Amblève and started at Coo. I was so excited and a bit scared, since I'm not a good swimmer.

In front of the waterfalls of Coo

We went for an afternoon of kayaking in the river Amblève in the Belgian Ardennes. We started at Coo. Here you see me at the waterfalls of Coo. The starting point of our wet kayaking tour.

We were about to start our kayaking trip. I was excited and had to go, but I could not hear the others, since the waterfalls behind me were making too much noise.
Fortunately they did not forget to take me with them.

Looking at the kayaks passing by

Half way kayaking on the Amblève river we stopped. One of the kayaks turned over, so it was filled with water. While one of my friends was struggling with his kayak, I climbed up the shore and up a tree to have an overview of the kayaks passing by.

I was helping my friend a bit with turning over his kayak to get rid of all the water that was inside. I think he appreciated my efforts, though I did not contribute much. At least I kept dry feet. He did not.

With our kayaks

At last.. After some hours of paddling we made it to the bridge where we had to get off. I still had dry feet. Here you can see all the kayaks of our group.
It was great fun! Not too much splashing around though..

I was a bit tired and felt my fluffy muscles after kayaking for a few hours. But I enjoyed it! Hence the big smile. Always a big adventure for a little sheep.
