I'm a simple emigrant and I actively travel around Germany

I recently went on a canoe tour through Bavaria with a tent. At first we just wanted to meet up with a girlfriend from Munich, but while we were deciding where to meet, we chose a canoe tour. The selection was handled by my friends, but in terms of price/quality we settled on the company Yezzt! There were six of us: two couples and me with Nadine. We were told that only people who live together can sit in the same canoe, but we decided to cheat, and in the end it wasn’t checked. I left Frankfurt around six in the morning on Saturday and after 3.5 hours I reached the departure point, the town of Solnhofen. The ticket cost me 21 euros, with a 25% discount for “youth up to 26 years.” The guys were already waiting for me there with three boats, and we set off. We had to paddle only 15 km, but the weather was beautiful, so we weren’t in a hurry. True, most of our route ran through a nature reserve where you’re not allowed to be after 5 p.m. On the way we paused on the shore to stock up on supplies, and by the campsite Zeltplatz we arrived around 8 p.m. In Germany, you can hardly pitch tents wild, and this campsite looked more like someone’s backyard. There were no other options, and we enjoyed the smells and sounds of the village in all its beauty. In the evening we ate baked potatoes over the campfire, like in childhood, with various sausages and bread. We pitched our tent a bit crookedly, but so solidly that even a heavy downpour at night didn’t blow it down. However, I could fall asleep only at six in the morning: whether it was the thunder, the excess of fresh air, or the fear that the frogs croaking like crazy would hop onto us. The boat rental and the campsite space cost us 42 euros each. In the morning we still had 9 km to go to the town of Ainstadt, from where I planned to go home. We hesitated a bit: no one knew whether it would pour down again as last night or everything would be fine. In the end we decided not to give up and, in about 4 hours, we reached the town. One time we almost turned the wrong way, because there are no signs along the way and the signal is poor. Go with the flow and ride the current—it should work. In Ainstadt we ate at a restaurant and there we also played cards. My return ticket, with the same discount, cost 35.5 euros, and after a few hours I was already home. All in all, if you haven’t tried canoeing or rafting yet, I recommend spending your weekends on it! #German_trips
