Holidays in Germany - week 1

I couldn't wait to finish work and head to Germany with Cian for our well deserved 2 week break.

The first day would be a tough one straight away. We were up at 2am as we had to drive to Dublin to catch a 7am flight. Arriving in Germany around 10am we had some breakfast. Then we started to prepare for our 5k race in the inner port that afternoon. The weather was so different to Ireland, really hot, the air a lot more stuffy. We ran in a team of 4: Cian, my brother René, Judith and myself.

Kayaking on Lough Allen

Last week John, a good friend of ours, asked if we would like to go kayaking with him and his wife Lorraine. And as we're always up for anything outdoors, we agreed to meet them at Lough Allen on Saturday afternoon for a bit of water fun and madness.

Kayaks "on the rocks"

 So we set off on an overcast but dry (at that point anyway...) afternoon. The lake was a bit choppy but that just added to the fun. Our kayaks were all sit in tops, so no need for any eskimo rolls at any stage (nobody capsized either, so we were all good). We also brought Cara as she is a total water baby and loves to swim.
