Lindsay and I got up at about 9am and met the group in the lobby, as today we were going kayaking. We got into the bus and were taken about 20 mins out of town to a spot on the river. Getting into the kayak I stacked it and almost ended up in the water. Thankfully I didn't. The water was quiet calm, which was good, but the current was going up stream and we were going down stream so it made it very hard to paddle in some places.
The scenery was amazing; with the mountains surrounding the sun and us was shining so it was quite warm out there on the river. As usual the group was competing again so instead of taking their time and enjoying it they sped off and some of us struggled to keep up, especially Ruth who was so far behind at one stage that the guide had to go back and get her. After about 2 hours of paddling we arrived at a village, which was the finishing point of our kayaking trip. We got out of the kayaks and got changed right there on the riverbank, with the villagers watching.
We walked into the village where we caught a public bus back into town. It took about an hour or so to get back into town and we were all looking forward to shower and a changed of clothes. Ruth, Lindsay and I went for a massage once we got back into town. The massages weren't the best but it was nice and relaxing. Feeling a bit hungry afterwards we decided t go and get a coffee and something to eat.
We found this nice cafe, which had a second story balcony that we could sit on and watch the world go by. Enjoying our coffee and snack we really didn't want to move but we had to meet the group so we went back to the hotel and met up with the rest of the group in the lobby. Lillian took us to an Aussie restaurant and pub, which was good as I was missing some of the things from home. We ended up staying there for a while and enjoyed a few cocktails before going to another pub and having a few more.
