A real lazy river
If you have ever been to a waterpark there is always a part that the non thrill seekers like to hang out in or that you use if you just want to take a break but still want to be in the water.

# the lazy river

Well, yesterday we did the same thing but not in a waterpark, we got to experience this in an actual river.  It is apparently quite a popular activity in Switzerland in Summer and I had heard about it but had never taken part.  
I must say this was an amazing experience and one I will repeat for sure.  It was mostly organised by another steemian called @ccyril *(who is really not active enough on steem)*

So to give you some perspective this was the river that we followed and it took us 4 hours.  We were 16 people and Graf the dog.  So the logistics alone of getting everyone at the right place with all these inflatable devices *(boats, rings, sups, etc)* was not as easy as one would think, especially because its not a circle  you are taking.  

### So our ingenious organiser came up with this master plan.  

He even made a video of it explaining everything but I am going to spare you that today.  Even the weather gods were kind to us as it was a nice 35 degrees outside and we hit a bit of summer rain for 20 minutes a little over halfway through.

So here is the whole group at the beginning and then I will leave you with some pictures that were made along the way to give you a nice impression of what we had to "suffer" through this amazing Saturday afternoon.

So after a while the whole group came together and tied all the boats to one another forming some sort of giant raft.  I do not think that someone ended up staying in the same place during the whole ride.  There were people jumping of, playing a bit of water volleyball, climbing back on, changing places.  My SUP was also very popular as there were many attempts at headstands and handstands *(some even successful)* A successful handstand is longer then 2 seconds so @ccyril is out but Gregory mastered it like a champion.

The only sad thing was that we lost 2 pairs of sunglasses and a pair of swimming goggles along the way.  But on the other hand we had fun and really enjoyed our time with some nice background music, a floating picnic and a little not to cold beer *(need to figure that one out for next time)*

So if you live in Switzerland and have not done this, I can really recommend it...
Are there other Steemians that do  similar things in their country?  please let me know

I know I had fun.
