Hello Bloggers!
After the high ropes course the fifth set foot (on a coach) towards River Simme for an afternoon full of fun and excitement. Yes white water rafting. It began with us getting kitted up for the dangerous and exhilarating ride down stream. Tight fitting lycra wasn't the most appealing in the swiss sun (yes, sun). Chris Elmer was like a George Michael look a likey with the shades and the goatee ( we had to have faith on the river,get it).
Next there was a small safety talk and then with our adrenaline pumping we dived into the...boat and sped down the river.
The first ten minutes were fairly calm however we then hit a weir called “The Buckin' Bronco” and it was the highest dropper, of about a metre. We all survived just and stayed in the boat but this wasn't made easy by the splashing from other boats.
Although the water was only 8 degrees some were still brave enough to jump into the water intentionally (in most cases). We spent a thrilling hour and twenty minutes dodging rocks ad trees, going backwards down rapids and escaping eddies. We had a great day and it was one of the best so far. Tomorrow we shall swim in an alpine lake and ride the tobaggon.
