Today we got up at 7.15 to go rafting. We had booked a half day which is 3 hours. Because we had never been rafting before, we went down a river that was 'class 3'. In higher classes, you are more likely to fall out/capsize/get completely drenched. Luckily for us, none of us fell out and the boat didn't capsize, but we did get very wet, especially my mum who got completely drenched as she had to sit at the front of the boat. Some of us went swimming down the river at times when you could. I didn't though, I didn't want to get my clothes all wet and neither did my mum as she was already wet enough. Before we went off in our boats, our guide showed everyone how to hold the paddle, what to do if you fall out of the boat, etc. We then all got on a bus that brought way back so when we finished we would end up at the place, and then we went off. We had to practice working as a team, as we had to copy the person in front of us. Our guide would give us instructions of what to do, and she showed us how to turn the boat around. I'll continue this tommorrow, my dad want the computer!
