t'was some major awesomeness
a bit sick and phlegmy, and have a weird rash from constantly using the hot tubs
but it was so worth it.
easily one of the crazier trips i remember, plus now i can honestly say i have driven a boat!
its actually quite challenging, the steering and docking.
gave up the wheels to one of the boys pretty quickly
feel so uneasy at home without being surrounded by 23 people
so... quiet. and sober.
had about 360 bottles of beer, 13 bottles of spirits
plus 6 packs of vodka cruisers all up.
what a fair effort, to finish those drinks!
cruised for 5 days in total on the Murray River
drove all the way into New South Wales on the first day
then hopped onto the Dinky Di houseboats, and set sail the morning after
Barberosa 1 and 2
the boats were really spacious and well appointed far beyond my expectations
we docked every night and tied the boats together so we could stay in one
it was like a massive party but extra fun because of the novelty
<3: the hot tub at 38 degrees, charades, 4 kings, checking the yabbie net every 10 seconds, boat races (of the drinking kind), pigging out on food which someone else barbequed/cooked, drinking till everything is funny, staying with friends in the hot tub overnight watching the sun rise, swimming in the freezing river and partying to the theme songs of the trip, 'Riverside' and 'I m on a Boat'.
click on the collages to make them bigger!
caught a yabbie, but though we put the fishing rods out we didnt get any fish
think it was a problem with the bait, i forgot to prepare any so used bread instead
that kinda failed.
so looks like most things on my post exam to-do list are ticked off.
but feel like going fishing again soon
feel so unsatisfied not eating fresh seafood during this season
there are way too many anecdotes to blog about this trip
and the first rule of our holidays are: what happens on the trips stays on the trips
so i ll just sum it up in one word.
gold!
haha.
k have to go do laundry now
mom is nagging
urh.
