River Salaca

Route: Mazsalaca –> Bridge in Vīķi = 32km
We…: I, Wilx, Amanda, JankS, Modris, Dāvis

July 11th and 12th we spent going on Salaca. Weather – it always can be worth, and it always can be better. So… it was fine :) - well… relatively.
Saturday morning already at 9PM we were in Mazsalaca at the river. After preparing works while it was raining we started to go by the river with inflatable boats. So we went in rain approximately 1 hour or less. Later weather was quite nice. Sun was hiding behind the clouds, but it wasn’t cold at all. About 6AM it started to rain again. This rain was looooong ;) while raining we pitch the tents, made fire, cooked dinner, had dinner, drank beer, talked :). Everything as usual + rain.

River itself – very nice. I liked. Flow was good enough for being lazy and not rowing. I am sure that at least half of boating we just floated, talked about rabbit caves and rabbits that live there, moose (or that was deer?) and kangaroo ;)))

Cliffs of Salaca

Sightseeing - all object were in first day – skaņais mount, caves, cliffs. Wilx was boating here once and showed us Xcaves. It was worth see that. Where are Xcaves? Try to find, somewhere there at the bank of Salaca. These caves are not advertised and can be found only by those who want to find them. Reason – not to spoil them and demolish.

Thing drying :)	Having rest	Bridge over Salaca

Second day were no caves, no cliffs. Just trees, bushes, birds, silence and 4 inflatable boats with 6 boaters.

P.S. Caves and cliffs in Latvia are not big (don’t compare with Slovenia) ;)
