We went whitewater rafting today.<\/p>\n
To cut a long story short, it was exhilarating and both more and less scary then I expected.<\/p>\n
My least favourite moment was when I fell off and the boat capsized half way down a multi level rapid and made my way down the rest independently, thinking the whole way “safety swimming position!” So that I didn’t die from head injuries.<\/p>\n
Next least favourite was going backwards down a 6 foot drop. Emma fell out that time, but we held on to her.<\/p>\n
My favourite was all the other rapids where they weren’t as bad as they looked and we didn’t fall out. <\/p>\n
I’m burnt to buggery (all the suntan lotion washed off during hour 1 – did I mention I fell in?) and have one elbow that’s significantly more pointy than the other one, and I’ve lost a stud earring (boy, am I glad I took my map reference ring off!), but I’ve spent a shit-load of adrenalin, and had an awesome day.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I finally got some knitting done in the 4 hours we spent journeying to & from.<\/p>\n
Am now nursing a Tuskers, and debating whether I need to eat before crashing out in my bed…<\/p>\n
Ps I gather pictures will be up on the porridge and rice site before too long. With any luck there will be a spectacular view of my big green arse as I fall off the boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
