Kayaking on Alz river (Chiemsee)

Last day in Germany! We went kayaking with Robin. It was a lot of fun. It was another hot day so it felt good to cool off in the river. Quite a few people out there enjoying the water but it is a wide river so there's plenty of room. We didn't make a reservation ahead so we were lucky that when we got to the rental place Kajakverleih) They had a two-person kayak and a paddle board available. So we started out where the river flows out of Chiemsee lake just by the bridge and floated for about 3 hours. A little paddling but mostly we went with the gentle flow of the river. It was stronger than it looked because it one point we got out to swim and we had to walk up the bank and float down because you could not swim against the current and make any progress or it would take you down stream. At the end of our route the rental place has bicycles and we planned to ride bikes back but Jay, Dan, Annie and Tim showed up. They did a bit of swimming and we hung out for a few and then headed back to Unterneukirchin and we all ate dinner at Raspels. Good thing we got a big table because we kept gathering family members around it which was fun. It was the last hurrah in Westin and Marina showed up for a bit so it was nice to have one last hug with them before leaving.Read more
