My diary

Today we got up at 8 to leave the hotel at 9. Breakfast was rubbish. There was just bread rolls. We walked to the boat booking hut and paid £25! They they took us to a river and we were told to put our jackets on. We then hiked up the mountain for around 30-40 minutes. It was very very muddy so we walked with no shoes. It was so funny with everyone sliding everywhere. I've never laughed that hard ever. We made it up the river and we were shown rubber rings. We then got into the freezing river and we sat in the ring and went into a cave. Because of all the rain the water was so high in the cave and it was scary. We had to pull ourselves along with a rope. Some girls were scared but I thought it was fun until Rachel said "what if it collapsed". We then left the cave after 30 minutes because the water was too high to go further in. After this we had lunch of rice and chicken kebab. It was delicious. I'm now a pro chop stick user. When we walked back to the van we stopped off at an Elephant temple. Which is just a cave that they think had a rock that looks like an elephant. Claire also nearly fell over and Rachel nearly weed it was so funny. Then we got back in the van and drove to the kayak place. I was with Rachel and we worked well together. It was so fun and the mountains were beautiful. It looks like Switzerland apparently and makes me want to go! We stopped off at a bar along the river and we had a drink. We then played beer pong with a guy called Dom (wink wink). I was rubbish and had to drink so much!!! We then got back in the boats and it was more fun because we'd had a drink. Dom joined us which meant ruby had to be pulled along on a rubber ring. We were laughing and singing then I got over excited and hit Sarah in the face with my ore. I was sad and her lip bled :( then we turned back and saw the spicers in the water in the bushes, they had crashed their boat and Laura had lost her go pro. The tour guide had to let ruby go off his boat so he could help her. She was floating in her own in the ring when the current got her and she floated past. I tried to give her my ore but I couldn't reach. She managed to swim and grab hold. We then all got back together, safe in our boat. I wore the rubber ring while in the boat and ruby and Rachel paddled. We made it back to the hotel. I moved to be back with Claire and Alex moved back with Katy so Rachel could have her own room (wink wink) We then had beers on mine and Claire balcony and just talked. Sweet. It is Julian's bday today so Ken made a special meal. There was the most delicious green curry but it was too hot for me to eat. He also made spring rolls which were amazing!!!!! We drank vodka and mixers. We then went out around 9 to an Irish bar and then a club. Danced. Got a tshirt. Drank. Dom. Home. Claire wouldn't answer the door when we got home so I went to get the reception to help me get in. Sarah was also there. They opened the door lock but Claire had bolted the door so I couldn't get in. The guy had to climb over the balcony and break in. I made it!!!!
