Dutch Open Canoe Festival 2018

We are now at the end of our vacation and sadly at the end of the Dutch Open Canoe Festival 2018.

We made new friends, saw old friends, learned new things and learned a bit about how “Cedar” was built. Plus we paddled a good about of kilometers for us.

Here are three pictures of today more to follow with our follow up blog on the event.

Shopping by Canoe

We found that getting to the store is easier to paddle and dock right outside the store located next to the water than to take the car.

12.8km today through the Werribben. Beautiful.

We arrived yesterday at the National Park Weerribben-Wieden. Since I am only on my IPhone I will only post a couple of pictures this week. Then write a complete blog about our adventures when we return.
