Day 78




Well first stop today was the post office and if I hadn't seen the card I still wouldn't have a phone. The silly girl had completely the wrong name on the package luckily I had the registered number and was at last able to collect my phone wack o, and Geralds pills were there too.

We were picked up in a mini bus and taken to the airport and there were eight of us on the flight out to the falls. We flew over the mud flaps they were awesome.


After we put our drinks on ice (BYO) we went on a boat like a jet boat through the falls the first wasn't running very fast so he took us through the second and half way though he cut the engines back and we were just hanging the water was flowing out at about 20 knots and we were just stationary there. EXCELLENT Showers for those that got wet. Us only a little as we were at the back because of Geralds back. If I did it again I would wear longer shorts my legs stuck to the vinyl when we were tossed us about like they do in NZ on the Jet Boats. You sat on them, seats, like you are riding a horse and hung on for dear life.

Back to the Kimberly Cat and Barra Shack our accommodation for the night, get drinkies and on to a very flash party boat with a fringe on top and we cruised the waterways.

Now for the shark feeding, they tell us there are some times 13 there, but looking at their mouths us Tassies would call them a breed of Sleepy Joe's, they would only suck you to death.

Back to the main boats for nibblies and drinks. Then a lovely soup, Barra with salads and potato bake. Yum, probably a plate of cheese to finish would have just the icing on the cake.

Would you believe that my camera decided no to work as soon as we landed...typical
