Some pictures of us paddling the Lesse river, Belgian Ardennes, January 25th, 2009.

The temperature was close to freezing, with nice ice-waterfalls on both of the hillsides that we paddled in between. Good company, good fun!

Good company, a good water level and even the sun came out. What more do you want? :-)
A nice day on the water.<
