Paddling you've done outside of the USA and Canada

[Erica]

I had a weeklong paddling trip in Sweden in an area that turned out resembling the Canadian Shield.

Did a day trip in France on the Gardon River, ending at the Pont du Gard, which I found quite impressive. A walk into the back country around the area unintentionally brought us to remains of the aqueduct in the woods, which was, to me, even more jarring to the sense of antiquity.

Yes, I have. In fact, I do all the time. I've never paddled inside of the USA or Canada, though

This is my home waterfront, to give you an idea. (I took none of the photos myself.)

Had a lovely little trip on the river Wye today in Herefordshire, about 5-6 miles. Really shallow in parts (it's been quite dry here recently) and only a few inches deep in places. We hit the bottom a couple of times and crashed into a rock in a fast section (oops)! It was great fun!
You'll have to use your imagination (my 10 year old was photographer) but the blur on the hill is Goodrich Castle. Started at Ross on Wye and finished at Kerne Bridge - lovely paddle if you're ever in this neck of the woods

I used to own an inexpensive inflatable canoe that fit in a suitcase. It wasn't a great paddler, but better than swimming. I brought it to Jamaica once, someone actually offered to buy it from me. I later sold it to a guy from NYC for his son.

When my youngest daughter who was in a military family stationed in Guam for 3 years, I visited twice and paddled with her outrigger canoe club on their early morning workout paddles. We always departed before dawn and paddled in the Philippine Sea and were able to watch the sun rise over the island. Several times we were escorted by dolphin pods. I was surprised at how fast we could travel and it was great fun to surf down ocean swells. Sorry, no paddling photos but one of the grandchildren on a WW2 Japanese anti-aircraft gun.
