PADDLE!
... the camera is making paddling motions. Lorna fell off again into the raft but we managed to hit the river at the right angle and not spin wildly. Yay! We still got wet but since Ben and I were sitting in the back it wasn't too bad.
The third chute was a disaster. We'd spotted a pub and tied up near a ledge but the ledge didn't lead anywhere except fenced off private houses, and we couldn't get to the pub without going through waist-deep water we decided to just have more drinks ...
No communists please
... the whole day doing it, only 4 hours.

Next morning we were up and packed early for our train to Ceske Budejovice, in the Czech ...
The crooked Czech
... it sits on. Most of the castle dates from around the 13th and early 14th century, while the interior is typical Baroque (and of course, if it’s not Baroque, don’t fix it!). Unfortunately, being a small town, even a tourist-centric one, the castle exhibits close about 5pm on Saturday and open in the afternoon on Sunday, so couldn’t actually go in the castle. But we did get to see some of the grounds, walk across the ...
