Fortunately, you can stop when and where you like, eat your picnic (including: meet pastry, tuna cake, sweet almond pastry and bottle of water), have a drink, admire the wonderful scenery, stretch your legs, have a swim, and explore the riverbank other than with your head.

When you finally reach your destination downstream between 3 to 5 hours later (depending on your faster paddling) you are picked up and driven back to base camp. An excellent day out, and a real achievement on every level.
