TA 24 - Day 15

- woke up absolutely FREEZING
- so I rode the first hour in my PJ trousers!
- was so scared I was going to miss the jet boat!
- the lady at blue duck was right - the trail was impassable at points and I crossed 20 stop signs where there had been land slips!
- fell off my bike going down hill 4 times because of how slippery the ground was - luckily not off an edge!
- met some hunters and he made me hold their hog! They were riding the whole thing on day bikes with a pig - put me to shame! Thanks John
- Arrived to the landing 1 hour before departure woo!
- watched groups of canoes try and tie up - was hilarious and spoke to loads of people - basically a sitcom
- boat arrived and the jetboat was awesome! Never laughed so much because it was full of old people and they were hilarious falling over etc!
- arrived in Pirpriki and it was $40 for my own private cabin with heating,power, hot showers etc - and cleaned my bike and laundry - WINNING!
- tough but good day!
