Day trip to Denmarks southernmost North Sea island Rømø. Beautiful day by the sea.

The awning already proofed to be useful. I'm just glad that all windows seem to be solid, none blown away.
Cheers!

My youngest (14 yo) and me drove down two days (1400 km) to Southern France. We are standing on the river banks of the Ardèche, a region where I‘ve been regularly since the 70s. The next 10 days will just be relaxing, hiking, swimming, SUPing (although there‘s no ‚standing-up‘ for me so far. And good food and wine, of course.

Today my son and I did a cayak tour down the Ardèche canyon. My parents did this with up to 50 teenagers for 16 consecutive years in the 80s and 90s. It was part of 3 week youth trip with bicycles through Southern France organized from the parish where my father was a pastor. They used to hike up the canyon in 3 days and cayaked it down in two.

We did the 24 km today at once. We started early so we had it cool and the canyon almost for ourselves. I have done this many times before, but again it was very impressive.

It put me in a bit of a melancholic mood, as it was the first time since both of my parents passed away within the last few years. But it also reminded me how grateful I am that they gave me this ‚traveling gene‘ that I‘m trying to pass on to my children now.

Anyway, it was a wonderful day.

(these pics were taken by professional fotographers that sit by the rapids, bought online later)

(This pic I‘ve previously taken from a viewpoint above the canyon. At this point it‘s approximately 400m deep.)

Camp Endo has moved. We‘re now app. 2 hrs upstream in the mountains where it‘s a little bit less crowded and hot.

Passed ‚le pont du diable‘ on our way and went swimming and cliff-jumping, with a few hundred others. Incredible what testosterone does to some of the young blokes (hight of the bridge is supposed to be 17 meters).

Just behind starts a beautiful canyon that we swam up.

This is our new camp for the next two days.

[EdH]

Amazing.

Unsure if I'd jump off that bridge though... I'd have to see it in person.

Beautiful @endo

Today we did a hike in the surrounding mountains. Not always easy to get the teenager moving, but he did well and we managed to have a good time. And afterwards we had meatballs and Orangina, that satisfies every soul.

We‘re on our way back North. Passing through Burgundy we took the chance to visit the Communauté de Taizé, where we had dinner with hundreds of young people and visited the evening prayer. If you‘re interested, listen to their music.
