On Saturday we went for a walk through a village, looked at the Elephant Cave (which had no elephants in it Sadly!) and then went to do some cave tubing - this is where you sit in a giant rubber ring and float through caves with a headlight on using a rope to pull you along! it was good fun if not a bit eerie! we stopped for a little bit, got out of our tubes and went for a walk through the caves, obviously when i say walk i actually mean crawl as most of it was really small and low, then we got back in to the tubes and floated back!

We had lunch which was BBQ chicken Kebabs (yum) and then drove off to do some Kayaking! i have never done Kayaking before so i was worried that i would be rubbish but it turned out that i was a dab hand and i ended up doing most of the work as Natalie who was behind me was rubbish but it was ok, i quite liked being the pro for once but my god did my arms ache after a while as we did about 15km in total! we did stop once at a bar for drinks, river jumping and Natalie and I challenged the locals to a game of doubles in pool...which we won! ah ha!

The next day my arms were really sore but that did stop me from doing some real tubing! Basically you get in your big rubber ring and float down the river, on the river banks are bars that you can stop at to drink, relax, river jump, go on the zip line - anything really, if you want to stop you shout over to the people working there and they reach out to you with a big bamboo stick and pull you in! it could'nt be more simple! We started at about 11.30, stopped at one bar for a little bit while Steph and Audrey went on the zip line (i just soaked up the sun and watched) then we set off on our way again. A little while on we floated next to some girls from the hotel so we stopped at the next bar with them and ended up staying there until 3.30! as lots more people that we had met turned up! As we had to have our tubes back by 6.30 and we didnt know how much longer we had to go, a few of us left and drifted on, i was quite eager to get back as i was hungry and my arms hurt again so i was getting grumpy and we finally got back about 6 i think so it was a very long day!

It turns out that 2 of the girls that were at the second bar with us got very drunk and ended up floating too far and got lost, it was getting quite dark now so some locals swam to them i presume to help them but they got scared and swam to sure leaving the tubes to float away - then they had a 30 min walk back to town in the dark in just their bikinis and got fined when they got back for loosing the tubes...silly girls!
