Before I start off this entry the weather
is terrible in Austria. It rains and rains
and rains then the temperature drops about
20 degrees in two minutes.
Today we rose from our slumber
to the sound of Geoff banging on our doors..
the majority of us dawdled to breakfast in
our pyjamas.
After breakfast we walked back to our rooms
to pack our bags and went to the Inns River.
In flood, the water was up about 1 metre from
our paddle on Saturday. The waves were great
to surf. Joey takes the cake for surf of the
day.
After we finished paddling the
river, we waited in the cold for half an hour
until Geoff came to pick us up. Once he arrived,
we put the boats on the jumpy and we headed
off to the hotel. Ate our lunch and then we
found out we were going canyoning. Canyoning
involved abseiling down walls, jumping off
cliffs into water, sliding down rocks and
climbing along rocks.
After canyoning we went in the sauna at our
accommodation and did a recovery session.
As we were sitting in the sauna, some other
Austrians came up and were going to join us…
they dropped their towels and we got a full
frontal of the local specimen. It was not
a good sight.
The sauna was really good despite
our encounter with nudists. We walked back
to the rooms, got changed, went to dinner
and at dinner we had Weiner Schnitzel and
chips - a specialty of the area. For desert
we had pancakes. Let's just say they were
DELICIOUS.
After devouring our DELICIOUS
pancakes we walked down to Oetz slalom course,
where we spent about an hour taking down the
gates we set earlier in the week.
Once we had dismantled the gates, we walked
back to the accommodation and packed our bags
for the journey to Prague tomorrow morning.
Let's just hope the weather is better tonight,
as it was freezing last night. So cold, it
snowed on the top of the mountains.
An update on everyone:
Ethan: has a lump on his head still looks
good in his new boat
Tash: Tash is still paddling really well and
is still called tank
Antra: Is still known as monkey
Ben: Has a really nice hair cut going in to
a rattie.
Josh: Quiet but lets the laughs still coming.
Joey: Still has his hideous hair cut and didn't
win the beat by not talking for 24 hours.
Ash: well Good quiet.
So yeah we are all good and
we are off to bed for a long ride for tomorrow
Thanks, Ash
