Day 2, afternoon of FUN!

After lunch (dried up tofu with noodles and a yummy salty soup) we got ready for white water rafting!!! Ended up in country teams! heheh! The Dutchies cheated and took off before we even had our helmets on! That left us against the Froggies! We all know we had to let them get away or all their male pride would have diminished eh?!! We definately won the water fight though with truly is all that counts! Team Sweden had a really great tactic when it came to rougher parts! Hey, we're not scared, why go down this trixy part forward, when we stylishly could go backwards!!! Hahah! Couldn't stop laughing!!! We had such a nice time, just drifting down river, watching the most beautiful birds come down for a quick drink (or did they catch fish??!). Also I had completely forgotten how great Col is at rafting!!! All those times in France really had paid off I think! He was excellent at getting out of the boat and releasing us from being stuck (again). Think rafting is something I def wanna learn more of!! Another danger sport for my list then. (OK, there never was a Team Sweden, we were The Brits of course....Maybe next time..)

 

After all that excitement it was straight onto the next one! Bamboo rafting!!

 

We were on a raft with the Frenchies, who were forever falling in! So funny! I just laid down at the back and enjoyed the ride. Col managed to slip one leg between the bamboo sticks and got caught! Could have turned nasty, but he managed to free himself! Accident prone boy!!

 

Had to swim the last bit which was quite funny! Silly really!

 

Had such an amazing couple of days that will stay with us for a long time! Thanks guys for making it so cool!
