Canoe in the Tuul River 31.05.09

On a beautiful spring day we headed upstream of the river Tuul (UB river) and wore our captain/marines/anything-like-it hats and off we went down the river to UB.
Very nice indeed when the cold weather's been playing hide and seek with the warm weather... as usual the scenery is stunning and with good company you can make the good times!
Lazy as I am, and you all know it... the paddling at the end against the very strong wind on a still water became part of the fun as i started barking (so they say! I was just expressing what everyone thought... bloody wind!!!)


Getting the canoes ready, waterproofing everything just in case...

It is just stunning, or have i been here too long?







you can guess what will happen next huh?




it was freezing cold...

avec Capitaine Claire

it is true, the river was rather shallow hence very slow floating (except for the 2 second of excitement when the boys felt in the water), so getting a bit bored and tired of paddling all the time... we had to create the action!


la vue et les rencontres par contre tres sympa!


Life is hard sometimes...



This lady ran to the boys canoe and jumped in it... was quiet hilarious as she stay there for a while, and had to walk the river up to her camp afterwards... probably the vodka she was drinking didn't help her thinking...
