Canyoning II

After the success of the first Canyon trip, we were again back in Austria this weekend but this time with the girls. The trip was another success with some great jumps - we did a 10-12m jump, which took off from a metre or so higher than the spot we jumped from last time. It was a great Canyon trip with a good group of people.
There was definite need of some soothing today, so we both had great massages and then a good lunch at Les Moules on Parizka.
We're off hover crafting next weekend - looking forward to it a lot!

Canyoning

The weekend trip canyoning near Salzburg in Austria was wonderful.
If you are new to the idea of canyoning, this is where you begin by climbing down into one end of a canyon - in our case some 30 or 40 metres. You then navigate through the canyon, climbing up and down rock formations, swimming through the canyon canals & taking leaps into canyon water pools - the largest we jumped was around 10 metres high - and under spectacular waterfalls.
It took us a little approximately 5 hours to navigate from one end to the other and was fantastic day!

Gold Coast

Well, we have been on the Gold Coast for 10 days since getting back from Melbourne, and we have really enjoyed it as ever.
The weather has generally been glorious for 'winter time' and this has made it possible for nice walks along the beach and a couple of games of golf.
We're looking forward to the wedding today - we're glad it's such a beautiful day! The bucks party spent down in Byron Bay with the boys last weekend and the lead up was fun and it promises to be a great day today.
Hoping to get another game of golf in on Monday prior to the flights back to Prague on Tuesday.
