One of the best events in Pantanal was in my opinion the river rafting. As I mentioned in an earlier post:

The riverrafting took place at the river Rio Formoso, beginner level, rafting approximately 8 kilometers in a beautiful scenery with open sky, forests on both sides, living animals, and a burning sun. During the rafting we fought like warriors, excited of the blood rage flushing through our veins. We stole the oars of each other, pulled the enemy’s oarsmen into the water, span the boats around, and, most important, had a great time.

And that is truly correct. It was like a battle with four squadrons representing the Saxons, the Indians, the Russians, and the Vikings. With a Norwegian on my frigate we were the only battle ship with Scandinavians, why we of course were the Vikings.

The activity was a mixture of team-building and gymnastics, which with the proper leader, co-leader, and operator lead to victory in the end; I do not need to tell how the fight terminated - the history of the Vikings reflects that properly; always winning!

Throughout the whole battle we had supporters in canoes taking pictures, why my gallery now is expanded with 49 images.
