Every year the eigth graders of Botkyrka Friskola take a canoe trip from Åkers Styckebruk to Gnesta. In all, it is a journey 28 kilometers long....if you go straight....but as many are new to the world of canoeing the distance becomes much longer.
19 students and three teachers embarked on this two day waterway event. We were lucky because the weather was just perfect. Sunny and warm with a few clouds, no wind and just a little rains at the very end of the trip.
The first day saw us camping in a fantastic place near the water.
I must admit that during the whole trip that we made a lot of stops for eating, portage of the canoes over roads and just plain resting.
The lakes and rivers were so calm that is was an easy ride for us. It was so lovely riding over the calm water, hearing the birds and watching the beautiful nature passing by without a care in the world. Unfortunately, the water was too cold and so there wasn't any jumping into the water for a swim.
All came back home having a nice time but completely exhausted.
