well we are back in Siquirres now, having just finished our 2'day white water rafting trip. it was BRILLIANT.... am definitely keen to do it again.the weather has been lovely and warm, and the water was cold, but once you were covered in it, which happened within a few minutes of getting on board, it felt nice.
the rapids were really strong in places, and we (5 of us) all got chucked out. unfortunately i fell under the boat and took in 2 or 3 luingfulls of air, which was definitely not fun... but the rest of it was great, and we volultarily got in and swam in some places, and we rode rapids of up to Class 4 and there are only 5 categories so that was pretty crazy. when someone gets tossed out, it´s everyone´s job to pull them back in, so we did a bit of that too...
anyway it was a real rush to do it, and the guy was giving us commands like ´forward... FORWARD HARD! FORWRAD HARD!´ and it really makes you work hard, especially after that first time we got chucked out.
in the evening, it was one of the lad´s birthdays... hes called Arno and he was 21, and we got him a pinana ... not sure how to spell it... and you had to hit it with a stick and sweets fell out... we blindfolded him, and he smashed some bottles and totally missed i... so then we unblindfolded him, and this time he smashed a vase... ah well, we had been drinking and playing this stupid game called ring of fire which was hilarious but very stupid and drunken, and most of us haven´t really drunk in the past 3 weeks,s o a few drinks seemed to get us all hammered and foolish. i took a load of videos but most of them are just blackness and so much noise you can´t tell what anyone´s saying. maybe when i upload them to the copueter they´ll be a bit better. ... next time i get online i`´ll bring my camera and lead so hopefully can uplaood some phootos.
everything is brilliant so far - long may it continue!
