It's Super Fun !
Amazing Russian couple !
Cool !
Camera fly to other boat so that we could get our picture ! :P
Backward ? Forward !
Need a good teamwork
The kind turn back , but can't turn too much , else we will flip over !!!!!!!!!
River ~ Elevator or something coz the water level different , is super interesting ! We parked all our boats inside and wait for the gate to close down , and the water will raise up when the other gate open in the end ! It's cool ! Like a upstream downstream hydropower plant ~!
We have to grab anything to hold us up , else the water force will just push us backward~
Gate closed !
Taka and buddies!
Biljana!
She looks fierce !
Boom !!! There's actually one boat flipped over and one of their bag drop inside the river @@
Great Pose !
Waiting for the others to regroup
My butt !
Boat traffic jam !
1,2,1,2 !!! :P
Finally !!! Restaurant for out lunch !!! Our destination!
Hot red wine with some spices!
Wotschofska
Our lunch !!!! Super salty garnish !
I'm super duper hungry after 2 hours of kayaking ~ Among the 200 freshman , we're the first group that get our meal first , coz Anton and his girl friend have to rush back to Cottbus by 4:30pm , and we spent 2 hours just from the starting point to the Restaurant , and it's already 1:30 pm when we arrived , so is like a super impossible mission to rush back .
9a.m. - meet up at mensa
9:30a.m. - walk to main train station
10:20a.m. - train to Spreewald
10:50a.m. - Arrived Spreewald train station
11:20a.m. - BY walking ~ to the Camplingplatz
11:30a.m. - Start our journey on the river
1:30p.m. - at the Restaurant
We spent 4 hours from Cottbus Train Station to the Restaurant
but this is what we did on our way back
We told the organizer OTIWO that we're really need to take a super quick lunch and move our way back , and this time we are not moving in a big group , we will do it only with one boat ! Just us ! By our own and go back to the starting point which we spent for 2 hours just now . But problem is by the time we finish our super quick lunch is 2 :15 p.m. , and what worst is we have to catch the train back to Cottbus at 3:19p.m. !! So we have one hour and 4 minutes to do the mission with the same route !!!
And....
2:15 p.m. - Rushhhhhhhhhhhhhh back to the starting point , and super strong water stream against us ! And we really use the counting tactic , as in 1,2,3,4 ! And go,go, go !
GUESS WHAT
3 p.m. - We manage to make our way to the starting point only !!!!!!!! And we have 19 minutes left to the Spreewald train station whivh we spent for 30 minutes walk just now !
So,
WE RUN !!
Yea...right after lunch , we did our best from the 2 hours kayaking to 45 minutes !!!! AMAZING isn't it ?!Even myself also couldn't believe it .
And if we miss out the train we will have to wait for one hour ! And this won't be working out for us to reach Cottbus on time, and Anton's girl friend also won't be able to catch her train to Berlin and back to Dusseldorf on time !
3:18 p.m. - We get up on the train !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:19 p.m. - It's really moving on time !!!!!!!! Back to Cottbus on time !!
Here's the map , so that we could check the route and won't get lost when we travel by own!
Walking to the Spreewald Train station
My shoelace x.x
Walk n walk n walk
Faster n faster
We have to run now
Run and run and run!
See the bicycle up there !!! :P
And we manage to catch up the 3:19p.m. train !!!!!!!!
From Cottbus station walk back to our dorm !
Cottbus i love you !!!
