My shoulders are going to get their revenge for this tomorrow.
It was an adrenalin kick beyond compare. Rafting on the Nile a couple of weeks ago was fun, I'll grant you that. This, though. This was me and my instructor in individual vessels. This was me aided only by my own paddling, and hip movements reminiscent of a Shakira music video. Me staying afloat on rapids hellbent on flipping me over. Me vs. the laws of nature.
Which is what bugs me, see. With decidedly amusing facial expressions (as my instructor told me afterwards), I did manage to beat the rapids. Once I got onto flat water though, I suddenly flipped.
All thanks to treacherously hidden whirlpools.

Not to mention that there was apparently a meter-and-a-half long snake not far from where we were at one point. Thankfully my instructor only told me about it once we got back to land.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd just have been irritated over not having had my camera with me.
Ha, jaja, good that you got irritated only by that ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your last days, and come back safe!! Remember what I said about sleeping? It doesn't sound so silly anymore, does it? :D
Fiiiine. I too wish I didn't need to sleep :)
