Today has been totally incredible!
I got off the Kiwi bus last night and was dropped off in a small town called Geraldine. I was met by the rafting company's owner and taken to her house to meet her kids and have tea and cake - always welcome!
I stayed up in the lodge last night, surrounded by lush green countryside with of course, white topped mountains in the background.
Had a lie in this morning - 8am!!!!!! and lounged around having a lazy morning.
The team at the rafting company were total wind-up merchants and took great delight in winding me up with horror stories!
We headed off for the river at about 1pm and it looked fine - flat, calm, shallow - perfect!
Although I was nervous, this turned out to be such an adrenalin rush and was fantastic! We rafted along a grade five river which is the highest grade for a commercial raft but all of us in the raft said we could have handled more!!!!!!
I've got the bug for this now so I think I'll have to move to Wales to get the mountains and rivers - not really much call for white water rafting in Portsmouth!!!
