Sailing over the Danube with a paddle-boat. Sounds crazy huh? Flore and Manuel, both based in Berlin, are currently sailing down the Danube river on a paddle boat. A couple of days ago they started in Vienna and they are writing about their adventures at http://pepora.wordpress.com/
The Danube is Europe's second largest river with 2850 km, going from Black Forest in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania. See also this post by Hugo earlier this year about the idea to sail down the Danube with a self-made raft.

"Half a year ago one of us was in contact with this french girl met at a hitchiking gathering in Portugal. The girl, Flore had a crazy idea about building her own boat and go down the Danube with it. First all of us thought it sounded pretty impossible and ridiculous but the more we thought about it the more plans we started to make. After a while we had decided. We were going to do it. We made some research and realized we were not the first ones and so we got in contact with groups that done the same thing, some of them ten years ago and some of them last year. We understood that it was possible and so we started."
