• Jetski

    Trauma alert. Well, not for me, as you can see, since there is no photo of me. I realized 5 minutes into trying to jetski that it was far too unnatural to speed up in order to control the craft. At the start of the tour, he said it was going to be high speed, and I wasn't going high speed, so I pulled out early. Alex and Juanes kept going though, and minutes after I left (while the tour guide wasn't even there), they fell into the shark-infested water twice. They, however, managed to do the entire trip, in fear and hanging on for their lives at like 70km/h. They did get to see sea lions in the water, so that was a plus.

    Meanwhile, I was having my own adventure back at the shore. The older man that was picking me and the jetski up had left his keys and phone on the back tray of the Ute before driving off. Randomly in the trip, I hear this almighty array of swear words as he swings it all around and heads back so we can look for them on the way. Then, after we thankfully found them, having to stand there awkwardly and make small talk with him and another random untooth local that showed up for a chat while waiting for his friend to come help him with his home-brew. Honestly, I don't know which of us had a more traumatic experience.
