The last couple annual trips were easy, canoed one way, stayed on the campsite for two days and came back the same way.
2013 = challenge
Yes, approximately 70 km of paddling over four days. This is not a trip for the faint of heart.

The White House
A beautiful White House surrounded by a luscious green landscape… just another day in Washington D.C.! It looks like a peaceful place to take a stroll around the gardens or enjoy a latté on the patio. The house of the President of the United States of America. A magnificent house. One can only imagine the decisions that are made behind the walls of this house. This is just one of many attractions in Washington D.C., and we went to many.
Prague Zoo is located in the north of Prague. It was opened in 1931. You can take the subway and bus to get to the zoo. It was ranked one of the top then things to do in Prague by Trip Advisor. For animal lovers, this is worth the trip. The animals are kept in areas that resemble their natural habitat.

A view of the Prague Castle from the Vltava river.
A peddle boat ride along the Vltava river, fireworks in the background, a truly romantic first night in Prague. This takes serious planning and research, or perhaps it is luck, not sure which one.
Saint Lorenzkriche (St. Lawrence’s church), a medieval church that began construction back between 1243 and 1315. An incredible church to visit.
Saint Lorenzkriche
When you see the castle for the first time in person, you will understand the description “fairy tale”. It truly looks like a castle out of some of the fairy tale children’s books. Pictures online do not do it justice.
Along the bike route.
If you appreciate nature, you will appreciate Englischer Garten in Munich. There are small rivers running through, lots of open space to fly a kite, watch some locals surf on the man-made waves, or play soccer. Perhaps you want to take a romantic walk with your significant other? It’s a truly perfect place to spend an afternoon or day.
Walk in the park.
Imagine rowing this lake
A picture of beauty to amplify the words to follow…
A day trip to Berchtesgaden National Park is a must if you are visiting Munich. You would regret it if you didn’t take the time to see this magnificent park. Especially if you are an outdoor enthusiast.
If you go to the same destination more than once at the exact same time of year, call it an annual event.
Annual July long weekend back country camping trip.
