Well time is flying by. I have now been travelling for almost 5 weeks and have driven from Munchen to northern Italy to the French Alps to La Seu de Urgell in Spain back to Augsburg in Germany for the 3rd world cup and are now back in the French Alps until Saturday when we head for Paris for a couple of days followed by Brittany in the north west of France. Then back to Lyon and I am off to Slovenia via Venice and Kay heads back to NZ for about 6 weeks before returning to Slovenia for the Worlds.

The two world cups have not been good for Mike as he damaged his back extreme paddling in Italy. The human back is not made to drop over ten metre waterfalls. He did not paddle in Augsberg as we spent a few hours at Augsburg hospital getting x rays and mri scans. All looks good but he required two weeks of no paddling. It was tough for him but he spent the time doing a film clip of the Augsburg kayak event.Fantastic result for Luuka getting through to the Semis in both Seu and Augsburg. Especially Augsburg where she was the 14th fastest qualifier.

Yesterday did a trip to Mt Blanc. Went up the cable car and spent 4 hours tramping around and walked back to Chamonix. Fab scenery a bit like NZ only bigger.

We were in Augsburg Germany for the German Argentine soccer match which Germany won 4 zip. Went to the town square to watch on a big screen with a few beers. The German went off with the result throwing and spraying beer everywhere. They will have come back to earth with them losing to Spain last night.
