Other important Kayaking stuff

This past weekend 4 of us were discussing the logistics of our upcoming kayak trip. Specifically, how on earth will we get enough wine from Red Deer to the lodge where we start our trip? There are six of us you know, and we are gone for a week. It merited serious discussion.

Teddy and I decided we’d pick some up in Comox on Saturday since Sunday, anywhere in B.C. and definitely in small towns, all liquor stores will be closed. And we don’t really want to board the airplane with multiple boxes of wine slung under our arms.

Then yesterday on our way to the lake to test the kayaks, we re-visited this important issue. Lynda mentioned that she would be driving her truck to B.C. at the end of June. Perfect! I’m the designated purchaser and will deliver the beverages to her, she’ll get them there, and apparently our belongings will be craned off the ferry so weight isn’t an issue and it looks like we’re in good shape at the other end too.

Everything’s falling neatly into place.

Thanks for looking after this most vital concern, Lo! And yes...I'm good for it too [$23].

How did last night's session go with the kayaking?

And how did you manage if Lynda left for the Island on the 20th??

Is anyone taking a wetsuit??

I tried on Jaci's yesterday. [After struggling FOREVER to get it on I revealed myself to Joan, Jaci and Lisa who all broke out in loud laughter [awaking BOTH babies!!]. I had it on backwards!! Who knew?? But it's such an ordeal to get it on and off I don't think it's worth the effort. I'd be dry in it...but if the sun shone I'd probably melt. Hers is designed for swimming.

At any rate, I know Lynda has one and I thought Gail mentioned at our breakfast that she too has one. Do you know if either Lynda or Gail are taking theirs? I am nothing if not a follower!!

Actually, why am I asking you this? I'll email Gail myself. Sorry to have mentioned it!

Jaci has leant me a couple of short and long sleeved tops plus a pair of shorts... and I'm going to take Vern's cycling tights...all of these are made from polyester ... or at least non cotton material. I'm thrilled that I don't have to buy anything!!!
But I'll look like a jerk! Who cares? When my kayaking form is revealed nothing else will be noticed, I'm sure!

Thanks for keeping me posted on what's going on, Lo!!

Summer Palace

Wow. Our days are full of strange sights and long hours. In the bus every morning at 7:00, and never home before 5:00. The summer palace was built by Rama V to commemorate the village where he met his wife. How romantic is that! Lo hiding between the antlers The gardens are gorgeous, with topiary herds of elephants, deer and rabbits. Sounds of peacocks echo through the gardens but they remained frustratingly elusive. Their cries were augmented by the screech of other unseen birds in faraway branches. But we did see an amazing variety of bougainvillea in all colours. Hans standing by the elephant's trunk. From the walls in the Reception Hall, yellowing faded faces of Ramas I to IX gazed out from acestral photos. Each Rama is believed to be an incarnation of Vishnu. Other rooms held lacquered furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl and stunning teak carvings. As with all Buddhist buildings, we have to remove our shoes and in some cases, we were asked the night before to dress respectfu...

At Sea

Image
Today we were scheduled to stop in Marseille but overnight the wind picked up and we apparently have heavy swells. Too heavy to allow a vessel of this size to dock safely, so the port was cancelled. Didn’t matter much to us since we hadn’t scheduled a tour and were just planning to take the shuttle into the old part of the city for a walkabout. Instead, we have a day at sea and that’s never a bad thing when you’re on a fabulous cruise liner. Already, I was part of a losing team at a game this morning and now I’m catching up on blogging. Later, who knows? There’s never a shortage of things to do on the ship. And there’s always the fitness room. I can only hope it will be full.
