Day 18
: Kicking Ass on the Kicking horse..
Friday 9th August 2013
Up at the crack of stupid o'clock..we left the 5 star Rondo truck stop/motel & grabbed a Mc Breakfast to go!
Our boats arrived..For our white water rafting trip on The Kicking Horse River.
British Columbia was treated to Me ,Ian & min in wet suits, boots & Splash jackets.
Our competant guide "Simon " from New Zealand, kept up the banter..
We were accompanied by a German family & Mark from Glasgow..Simon thought Hollie was by far the best oarsman & promoted her to front of the vessel, for the second, harder part of the voyage.
Ian hired a " Go-pro" head mounted camera. We hope the footage will be great ( and that he turned it off in the loo!!)
Lunch was a very impressive BBQ prepared by the guides.
The 3 of us completed the upper & middle sections of the river..The scenery was again STUNNING.
We had planned to leave at this point, but Hollie & Ian wanted to finish with a final intensive stretch of class 3-4 rapids. I went back to the office with the less adventurous, & my elderley friend " Virginia" who at 70+ years would announce to anyone within earshot, that they KICKED HER OFF! Presumably cos she couldn't paddle fast enough.
Exhausted..Ian drives a further 4 hours to Kelowna for tonights hotel stop.
A late Burger King experience finished the day.
Goodnight noble reader, Hope all is well with you all xxx
A final message for Mr Jack Fryatt ..Whilst we don't have any pics of Ian in my pants, we do have one with me in his!!
