Made it here!  Johan had better luck with our directions and got us here in good time to have dinner and sort out our accommodation. We are at the farm house, where the Australian Team is. Its a pretty cool old style farm house just a stones throw across the river.

Training has been going really well and Im really enjoying paddling here, although Bourg was rather fun!!

Here are a few pictures Steph and Johan took, playing around with his camera.

After the Slovenian Open we decided to stay in Ljubljana for another night and then make our way south towards Spain. We were in no hurry opting for a more tourist type trip. Photos Here

Johan was chief navigator choosing google maps as guide. Funny, that it took us on the looong way round. Over two huge mountains and under a hand full of ski fields. However this scenic route was really really nice, with absolutely  awesome views, will put more photos on soon.

We also stopped by Lago di Garda, in Italy. Its a huge lake (similar to lake Taupo). We found a nice spot to eat our lunch and admire the view… That was until some dodgy Italian man dressed in tight speedo like attire came up wanting some euros for us to sit there. So we decided it was time to go for a dip and walked a 50m  down the beach and went for a few cannon balls.

After our killer mountain drive we ended up in Bourg-Saint-Maurice eager to sleep. We tried to find Ciaran but couldn’t get hold of him. So tired we crashed out in some raft base for the night, waking up surrounded by mountains and a sweeet river.

Today caught up with with Ciaran Heurteaus and went for a paddle on the course. It is one of the funest courses I have been on. Big white water with some sweet waves, eddys and holes to play in! Our journey south to Seu continues first thing tomorrow….
