  Although the day started raining the weather turned out nicely. The "short" trip to get to the starting point was a little sightseeing tour by itself. After some short instructions we headed out with the kayaks. It's about 1 1/2h to get to this place but it feels like you are in a different place fare off the civilization... if you enjoy watching nature you will definitely enjoy this trip :)
