White Water Rafting

With a bit of time to spare I descided to go and check out what all the fuss was about and try some rafting. I headed to a place called Ollantambo to the Rio Urubamba a region of river around Cusco surrounded by mountains with level 2-5 rafting conditions. We rafted a fair to middlin level 3, still choppy and exciting but not necessarily deemed 'dangerous'. Being a bloke I was naturally selected to sit at the front to do the most 'important' paddling and consequently get the most soaked. It was freezing even with a wetsuit but great fun, really recommend it. We were rewarded with a nice sauna and lunch at the end before we hoped on the bus back home.

Hello mate this will be my last reply to your fantastic blog site before you return to Blighty next week. It has been great to read about all of your adventures and we are really looking forward to catching up over a chilled pint of stella and your photo albums. God bless mate and have a safe journey home.
