This morning we woke at varying
times due to our out-of-sync body clocks and
enjoyed a hotel breakfast. The chocolate cocoa
balls, hot chocolate and eggs were a big hit
amongst the team. Some of the team experimented
with the local language using the advanced
phrases of; 'morgan' and 'danke'
After a team briefing we packed our gear and
drove to the course past the colourful rhinoceroses
(with which we are planning to take photos.)
The course planned was a play on the white
water to get comfortable with the boily rapids.
Second run down a major catastrophe occurred
- MIRIAM BROKE HER GLASSES!
…also Emily dislocated her shoulder.
Such such such bad bad luck. While going down
the first drop Em did a massive forward stroke,
backflipped, dry rolled and was pinned to
the wall from which position she cart wheeled
onto the bank.
While the above description is perhaps a little
enhanced for entertainment value, she was
simply doing the same moves on the water that
we were all doing and that she had done many
times. In all seriousness em's shoulder was
dislocated from her body. After laying on
the side of the bank in extreme agony for
half an hour, the ambulance and doctor came
and moved her shoulder back in place. She
was then taken to hospital to get it checked
out and the rest of the team finished their
session. Currently Em is feeling 'okay' and
while it looks like her paddling is over for
the tour, we are still not sure as to what
will happen next.
We shuttled the team back to the hotel and
got kebabs for lunch, going back for a session
on the water in the afternoon. The afternoon's
session was thirds with video and walkback.
Collectively the paddling was a lot better
than the previous day, and we spent more time
in the actual water opposed to running into
the walls.
For dinner we walked into town and ate at
an Italian restaurant where Joey paraded in
Antra's scarf. On the way home Jaxon, Seb
and Joey raced Myriam back to the hotel using
their supposed 'short-cut' and even more dubious
claims of 'superior Augsburg orientation'
to beat Myriam - 'the cheat.'
