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 😁⛑️

Bratislava, Slovakia 💕 We're looking westward. The green shore is Pečniansky Les in Petržalka neighborhood. To the right is Karlova Ves neighborhood. All the way in the background to the left is Austrian territory.🇸🇰🌲🇦🇹
.
There are a lot of interesting vessels on the Danube in this picture. In the background you can find a large cargo ship consisting of one pusher boat and two barges. There's a small speedboat to the right. You can also find a small cruise ship that's probably going not further than Devín.⚓☸️🚢🛥️
.
And finally, all the way in the foreground, there's the super fast but also mildly threatening @twincityliner which travels between Vienna and Bratislava a couple of times a day.🚤
.
What's missing of course is one of those huge cruise ships and of course a kayak or a canoe (or why not both?). And perhaps a hydrofoil ferry.☺️🛳️🚣‍♀️🛶

Haslau, Austria 💕 This is Jonas carrying the dry bags on his back and the duffel bag on the front. While snapping this photo, I had the kayak on my back in its backpack and a small bag on the front with about 7 liters of water.🎒🚶🎒💧🎒🚶‍♀️🎒
.
I've carried some heavy stuff in my life before, but this was probably the heaviest. We had use for everything we carried and didn't overpack. It can't get much lighter than this without dropping off the laptops and not working on our non-paddle days.👨‍💻👩‍💻📶
.
We're both able-bodied people of average strength and we managed to do this whole trip mostly without the use of cars and buses - just on foot and by water.🛶
.
Building the strength to carry adventure gear shouldn't take too long. In my experience, the first time with fully packed new gear can always be a bit shocking, but as long as I can stand and walk fairly normally, there's the potential for building up that strength needed to pull off a trip like this.🏋️‍♀️💪
.
And don't let men carry your gear for you ☺️
