Today was going to be a great day and we all knew it! Katie, Mel and I decided we wanted to go drifting or white water rafting. After breakfast we headed down to reception to ask Jesse if she could get us a deal. Luckily we got the price down slightly and ended up with three people for 600 yuan, which worked out about 20 pounds each. Not too bad, back home you would be paying through the roof! We headed down to the bus station and prepared ourselves for the bumpiest ride of our lives. About an hour later we arrived. We left out stuff in the locker and then put on some sexy plastic shoes haha. We took another bus which took us to the very top of the rapids. After waiting a little bit, Mel and I hopped in a raft and Katie hopped in one with a random Chinese dude. We were all saddled up, helmets and life jackets on. One by one each raft was pushed down the first slope which was a massive drop, almost like a log flume. My adrenaline was pumping , I have never been so excited! I love things like waterparks and themeparks so this was great! Mel and I were up and we were pushed down the slope. Immediately we were trashed about, bumping over the rapids, banding off rocks , twisting and turning. It was the most fun ever!
We spent a good two ours on the rapids and I could have done more. Every so often there would be people professional photographers hiding to get cool natural snaps of you. I ended up buying two after because they just looked amazing. I was really sad when our time was up but hopefully I can find a place and get Becky in on it when she comes out! She would love it. We got on the bus back absolutely drenched, even though the ticket specifically said no one should be wet. Rebel westerners.
We got back to the hostel and showered and headed out to eat as it was Katie's last night. A couple of drinks were had and some more KTV, but no where near as good as our previous stint! We met Simon and Gavin randomly on the street and they invited us along and paid for everything, those guys are legends! We got back to the hostel sweatbox and immediately I was grimmed out about the fact it would be another sleepless night due to heat. However on the night side I will be in a new country in two days! :D
