Day 18

Today was the day of the triple challenge involving a helicopter ride, white water rafting and jet boating. We were all kitted out in full wet suits by 8:00 am before being taken on the helicopter ride in groups of 6. For most of us it was our first time in a helicopter and it was definately very exciting and enjoyable.

The white water rafting was exhilerating and thorougly enjoyed, at least by most as some of the under 15s had near death experiences after falling out of their rafts during the fastest rapids on the course. After the rapids both squads went into the sauna some for a considerable length of time as the rafting left us freezing and we all needed to thawe out.

I think most would agree that the jet boating was however the best travelling at 50 mph in the middle of a very narrow gorge it got the adrenaline pumping for sure.

We then went into a town and most of us enjoyed some seriously big burgers.

Definately a day we will not forget and a superb way to finish an excellent tour.
