Danube Floodplains, Hungary/Slovakia 💕 Morning fire 🔥Will you do something rewarding today? 🙂
.
This is what we woke up to after freecamping that one night in the floodplain forest. We'd paddled 36 kilometers to get to this camp spot and we had to paddle 26 kilometers more to get to Gönyű - the first biggish town in Hungary. 🏞️🛶🏕️
.
I hadn't slept very well that night, so getting up at sunrise to pack everything up and go wasn't actually that hard to do. The Earth's rotation rewarded us with this view of the trees on the Hungarian shore. That magic moment when it's a cloudy day but the sun still reaches underneath the cover to light up the trees.🌤️🌥️🌳🌲🌅
.
It's funny how one of the toughest paddle days was also one of the most rewarding ones. This is something I've always instinctively understood: if it's easy, it's probably 'meh'. 😕
.
I don't want to live in a constant state of 'meh'.
.
So I ask again: will you do something rewarding today? 🙂 Would you like to share what it is?

Slovak-Hungarian Border Area 💕 It took some time to find a spot, but we eventually found an elevated space to call our home for the night.🏕️🌌🌙
.
Dunajské luhy is a protected landscape area you've probably never heard of. It forms the border between Slovakia and Hungary.🏞️🌄🌲🌳🐿️
.
The border mostly flows through the middle of the river, but probably because the border has been decided upon ages ago, it's not perfect. The river meanders and changes the shores. But the border remains fixed.🇸🇰🇭🇺
.
Though we're on the Eastern shore which is usually the Slovak side, this particular outcrop was apparently Hungarian territory. So this was our first night in Hungary.⛺😪😴🌠

Čunovo Dam, Slovakia 💕 Here at this spontaneous dam, the engineers thought of doing something cool. They diverted part of the Danube water to make two white water obstacle courses for kayaks and canoes. 🛶💧💦🌊
.
The day we arrived here all hotels were booked. It turned out it was the same date of the World Cup Canoe Slalom. All these kids dropped off this edge for glory and gain. Such a niche culture! 🏆🤠
.
We never plan to be in a specific place during a big event. If anything, we try to not travel to a place when it attracts big crowds (I'm not a fan of large gatherings). We had no idea.🏅🎖️🥇🥈🥉🌍
.
Anyway, it was really cool to see the opposite side of the kayak/canoe spectrum. We're in a very large inflatable canoe, they're in a very skinny hard-shelled canoe. They compete for prizes, we don't compete with anyone. We try to not drop off tall cliffs, they seek tall cliffs to deliberately throw themselves off. We carry an incredible amount of luggage, they have nothing but their paddle, life vest, and helmet. And we definitely don't have helmets 😁⛑️
