Petr and Lenka invited us to try wakeboarding on their boat. We went out inspite of

soaring temperatures above 40 degrees. Here the captain is relaxing before the water

sports. Burj al Arab in the background, a impressive site from the sea front.

My turn to get in the water. A bit sceptical, but everybody was very patient with my lack of

boarding-abilities...

Just about to get pulled out of the water. This is MUCH harder than it looks!

I surrender to laughter as I am unable to get out of the water on that d*** thing!!

(red. On our second time out I managed to get up!)

Lenka and Petr were very good at it. Here Lenka is controlling the waves.

And the doughnut.

Michael got to steer the boat.

Finally I got to use my ugly but very practical hat!

The guys enjoying a junk food meal after all the hardship!

Thanks for inviting us, we enjoyed it a LOT!
