Europe '08 Day 9
2008-10-14, 8:43 p.m.
This is long overdue, and if you're seeing this, you've reached the last part of my europe '08 trip diary. Wonderful is a great understatement, but i also realized, that to be gone for 13 days, is going to be a longg time.
Day 9, 02/05/08
There, out last day in Interlaken, my aunt, mummy and granny went to ahem steal ahem flowers of public property. Roses if i'm not wrong. Lol. Last night. Oh and i played pool with daddy, damn he's good. 7 CHF for 2 games. Most expensive pool game i've ever played. Lol. The machine scerwed up. >.< And we saw 2 guys on drugs, one's quite cute. What a pity. Oh and we met a s'porean studying in USA now who looks like both Joy Feng and Jeanie. Lol.
Day started off with breakfast, oh no wait, my aunt coming in to disturb us. Lol. Packed out stuff, ate and went to find the canyoning people. Lol. After briefing, CHF 115 per pax, dressed in our underwear, the suit thing that is pretty water resistant and waterproof rubber boots.I was an XS in every gear except helmet, they only had S, what is smaller s'poreans came? Lol. Then we drove down to the canyon. 10 mins drive, 10 min walk uphill and an hour plus to walk back the same distance that we'd spent 10 min walkin gup. Lol.
We walked, in water, on rocks, on mud, jumped down in different positions at different heights, highest 15m. I feel that i could surpass any amount of difficulty if i just remember that instant and be willing to take a painful lesson after that. It was a free fall. We climbed down rock faces with ropes. (Side note: i still remember the fall, i still remember how paralysed with fear i was that i was unable to follow instructions as to the right position to fall with. I think i've a phobia of water. >.<)
The instructors were strong, like zomg, i kept thinking, i bet darling would love this, although we were frozen to the extent that our hards were merely for decorative purposes. Could see our hands holding the rope, and that was about it. Lol. One instructor said we were crazy, and that we were the 2nd group this year. Today was the start of the season and as she put it. "I was skiing last week, and this week you're canyonning." The canyon water came from the recently melted snow. It was a slovely experience. I might hate water (a word that looked like len) and do it again if it promises to not be so cold again.
End of trip. It was a long flight back again.
last - next
