Spreewald canoe trip

1hour drive from Dresden, Spreewald appears to be a peaceful place to spend an active weekend....
Its a UNESCO site due to its narrow waterwalls traversing the backyards of many homes and supposedly unique fauna which seemed to have successfully eluded me. Its also the land of the Sorbs and you can see them manning (and womanning) the shops and fruit stands in their traditional clothes.
So how you know they are the Sorbs and not Germans masquerading as one ?....hmm.....

You can also hire a bigger boat and have someone row it for you - which is what most of the older folks did. Actually, the whole place is full of older folks and they are having a rowdy sing song session at town hall....I am glad I found this quiet stretch to give my banana and carrot juice some undivided attention.
