Rafting in the Salzach river.

After the biking we cooled off with some rafting in the mountains.
HEY WAT KYK JY!
For one strech of the river we had to get out and walk. Me and chad were not very happy to walk since it looked like the fun was only starting.

Under the bridge I then spotted a memorial of 9 people that already died on this part of the river. I guess I will walk then.

The water was cold about 8 deg but we had a swim anyway.
