Our hotel room the night before the
expedition begins ..... 
The adventurers set out ...... (after their first experience of an American school bus!!!)
Claire and Jeff tentatively set off down stream!
Here they come ...... and it's Claire and Jeff in the lead, swiftly followed by Kate in the white and Bridget in the red kayak .....
Break for swim and watermelon, which we found out the fish go mad for!!
Trish and Kate!
Bridget swimming with the fishes!
Three intrepid explorers!!!
5 and 1/2 hours later and we're at the pick-up point, a little redder and a lot sorer!
