Another full day on the river with about 30 miles to do. Felling much better I was back in the paddle boat. Last night we heard a story about the legendary 205 rapid (moral do not upset the guides they will get you back), amazingly we got though this without any real problems. We even had a tail wind so we jury-rigged a sail and tried to use it to move down stream. Unfortunately the wind was as up and down as the New Zealand dollar so this wasn’t all that useful, but worth a go.
Even after two weeks it is still the case you can come around a corner and simply go wow, the amazing views of the canyon simply cannot be show by a photo.
Arrived at our last camp for the trip, it is interesting that now a small sandy hill with a few plants on it looks so completely like a camp now days I am not sure how I will cope with beds, walls and all those other things in the outside world.
After dinner we all polished off whatever drinks etc were left (no point in taking them back) and had a fun time working thou the problems of life the universe and everything.
