2 days ago (after skydiving) I went white water rafting. And it was the most fun I have had in water since ever. Don't get me wrong I love doing a lazy day of kayaking but rafting was adrenalin packed fun. That said the tour did have some relaxing bits. There were a few times where they would have us jump out and just drift down the stream.
After receiving a brief but thorough crash corse on what to do in the raft as well as what to do when you fall out (when, NOT if). We were equipped with helmets shoes life jackets and fashionable neon yellow thermal pants and shirts. We looked like Peeps on water.
We flipped a few times and I unintentionally was pulled off the raft once. The way that went down was the instructor decided to stop the boat in front of a Giant rock. The rushing water kept us on the rock, but when my paddle was sucked away by the current, the T grip on the paddle that I was holding on to took me with if downstream. I hit my left elbow and got a cut on my finger, the most curious thing though was that I had a nosebleed afterwards.
I know that I held my nose when I went under and I didn't hit my face on anything. I think that the rush I got from going under sped my heart up to the point where I got a bleed. Either way it was just an awesome time despite still being sore two days later.
Yesterday I hiked the table lands but I'm going to save this story for later, because I don't yet have pictures yet.
