We had an amazingly chilled out afternoon kayaking to see the corner (Matt was very excited about the corner) with Lindsay (what a team! HA!), sunbathing on the deck and messing about on a big log, all attempting to stand up/ jump off at the same time and generally massively failing but having a proper giggle in the meantime.
