Birthdays, water skiing, face plants and LOTS of fun!

Well.. Where to start!

It was Helen's Birthday, she stayed the night at mine on Friday night and Jo surprised her and came round with a cake about midnight. Helen and I were all showered and ready for bed and it descended in to a cake fight.



We finally got to bed about 1ish and then were in a taxi at 6.30 on Saturday to get a bus to go water skiing.

We took a bus to Seoul and got ther about 10.30, we then took the subway across Seoul to get a train to Cheongpyeong Lake and arrived about 1.30. We headed straight to the lake for a water skiing lesson.
The guy who spoke English was not around until to so the girls went out on a 'peanut'



and the guys did fly fishing.



Slightly feared for my life here and am pretty sure this was not covered by my travel insurance but was loooooots of fun!
Then we had the water skiing lesson and then into the water.



I managed to get the position right but I could just not hold on to the bar so face planted pretty much every time. It was really fun but very tiring!!



We were then taken to out cabin, it was a big log cabin that had about 4 apartments in them. It was such a beautiful setting, we had a BBQ and then a group of Koreans who were also staying there introduced themselves, which lead to soju drinking and drinking games.
I headed to bed early as we were going to do more water skiing the next day. The boys however stayed out, judging by the smell of stale alcohol in the room the next day drank a lot more!!!

Day 2 of the water skiing was better, I could stay up for longer but still could not hold my grip.

Check out here for all the photos and I think videos of the many face plants and fun!

Videos to upload but don't seem to be uploading.. watch this space!
