2022 DAILY ACCOUNT - PART 3: 21 July

Row, row, row your boat. Today is the day we go for a splash. We have to take a train to the upper part of the River Elbe so we can row our boats down the river. But before getting into the water, let's look at the trains. I have always been fascinated by trains - ever since I was a little boy. I have hundreds of selfies taken with trains all over the world. This was taken just before we boarded the train:

I have two photos taken the day before of me driving a train:

And if that pic isn't clear enough, here's a side pic that shows quite clearly that I'm in the driver's seat.

We row a good 17km into the sunset but to be honest, the flow of the river helped quite a lot. Here's a pic of me all poised for the hard task of rowing down the river.

We stop along the way to swim and to take selfies of course.

It took me a long time to get the entire vessel in my selfie. I tried many poses and different angles and in the end, I had to get out of the water just to capture the whole boat behind me.

But the pics others take of me are always better than my selfies. Here's a pic taken by a friend. The entire boat can be seen without any difficulty.

I'm glad that everyone is armed today with a mobile phone/camera. I always welcome pics taken by others. They give a different perspective. Here's a lovely pic that shows the bigger picture.

As you can see, all the pics taken by others are so much better than the pics I take myself.

This photo diary won't be complete if I leave out the ice-cream break:

We soon arrive at the house of the oldest and most revered naturist in the whole of Saxony for a group photo.
