Two day easy water travel over river Thaya. Rather little water allowed our boys
to train how to control the canoe and improve in reading water.

Second time on Morava river, this time just our family. Much more water than
last time made the drive quite quick, so we camped about 8 kilometers futher
in nicer place with great buffet, nice water powerplant and friendly goat
Ruzenka. Boys get better in canoe skills and despite rainy weather at the start
it was really nice.

Second part of our week-long trip to Hungary and its almost-sea Balaton lake.
It was wonderful summer vacation with swimming in shallow waters of the lake,
melons, ice cream, camping, running and having fun. On the route back we visited
romantic castle of Sumeg and thermal baths at Mesteri.

The summer vacation with kids. We abandoned any plans to go anywhere too far and
picked close countries - Austria and Hungary for short road-trip. Packed with two
tents we did first stop in Marchegg for famous stork trails and second in
Mosonmagyarovar for thermal enjoyment and Hungarian cuisine.

First introduction of our kids to inflatable boats and going down the river. Easy
Thaya river and one of its forks had nicely located camp in the middle of the journey,
where we slept in the tents. Combination of sunny weather and beautiful surroundings
turned out to be great way to spend weekend.

Our kids never saw any kind of sea, we never dared to travel that far. This one
had number of firsts - first flight, first sea swimming, first island. But above
that it was nice vacation that all of us enjoyed. Half was in Dubrovnik's
port Gruz, other half on close Elaphiti island called Lopud.

Last weekend of summer vacation. We spent three days in South Moravia area
called Pálava, known for wineyards, castles, and lakes. We did some swimming,
wine tasting and trips, but our kids especially loved our tent placement in
Apollo camp. We were next to fenced area with goats and sheep. Boys took some
of them for "theirs", gave them names and in every free moment they kept
feeding them.

28 Aug 2015 - 31 Aug 2015
Last weekend of the summer holiday. Our boys were telling us all the time that they
want to go out camping, so we decided to go down to Hungary and find a nice place to
stay with tents, enjoy last sunrays of the summer and have good time together. Alice
found a place called Lipot, close to the point where borders of Slovak, Hungary, and
Austria touch. In the town there were thermal baths, nice bakery with view to its
production line, and many nice places around. On the way back we visited Bratislava,
Slovak capital and exhibit dedicated to Titanic sinking and wreck exploration.

This was still water river, called Luznice. This time of year there is almost
no river very wild, though this was one of the stillest I ever did. On the
other hand we were rewarded by two campfile opportunities, one of them we had
even guitar with us.

A weekend spent on Vranov dam. It is the most beautiful dam I know, snaking
between rocks, making a lot of curves and nice corners. In the middle of it
there are two castles - Bitov and Cornstejn, the latter is mere walls and some
ruins.

Last year we spent some fine time on the Ohre river. So we decided to repeat
the successful journey on another wide river, Sazava. Although the weather was
not very sunny, I liked it very much. Three days of lazy sailing.

Sailing along the Svratka river - it was early spring, when there is enough
water. It causes big waves and a lot of lapping. Two experienced crews
together with two first-time crews. They capsize only a few times.
