Dinant Kayaking:
I am not that a water sport person,because I am dead afraid of water. But I wanted to do Kayaking always as I have seen lots of pics where in ppl just enjoy a lot! . SO when there was a huge gang for this,all of us started to Dinant to Kayak. We did the Kayaking in the Lesse river. We went Dinant from Brussels and on this special day , all trains in Brussels were cancelled . We waited in the station for an hour and then hopped off into the bus. From Dinant we had to go to Houyet and then walked the way to the Lesse Kayak starting point. The ticket for the Kayaking costs 19 euros including the life jacket and the box to keep the things.It takes one and half hour to go to Dinant and half an hour to Houyet.We waited in the queue to collect out stuffs and once we wore the life jackets and took the rowers, we looked like Tribal people. He he! We both were the first to go into the stream and start the adventurous act. Once into the stream , I dint understand much. It was like we were in the middle of the forest and in between there was a stream and we did not know what to do. We were rowing continuously with no logic. Rather than going in the middle of the stream we were mostly towards the corners and hitting our boat with others and having a hard time to come to Normalcy. It so happened that we were so pissed off , we went and hit at one of the corners and my rower stuck in between the trees and our boat literally tumbled and Voila.. our boat was full of water! Nice isnt it!!
Then friends helped us tumble it and we rested for sometime. But after this mishap , we framed a logic and started and we could not believe , it was so perfect. We were always in the middle of the stream and no hitting and no turning.The scenery there was picturistic and fantastic. We rowed for a long time and took a lunch break for one hour. We were freezing actually , because the weather was not that perfect. We started again and then off we went singing songs on the way and freezing at times. We came across two slopes on our way. The first one was easy , rather we got stuck up in the middle and could not fall down. The second one was worse actually , it was like a water ride and we were fully wet! So all hurdles completed , we moved to complete the 21 kms kayaking. Venkat rowed mostly after this and I was just supporting at times! At last we saw the final destination and while I could get up , my legs were so numb , I just fell off! My.. what a day.. but really adventurous and a nice trip and a memorable one!
This sounds like one fun ride...LOL!!!
