21.16 - Now today has been a bit improvement on the last few. The weather has been excellent, hardly a cloud in the sky. It was because of this that I decided to go parasailing. After doing the usual morning shite, like checking my e-mails and having breakfast, I booked myself in for the 12.00 ride. When I got on the boat and we had set out, I found to my horror that I would be going up first! It wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be, I must be getting used to all this stuff because I wasn't scared or nervous when it was time to go up. Whilst in the air the views were excellent even though I had only gone for the 600ft option (the max was 1000ft) and I was annoyed that I didn't bring up my camera for fear of getting it wet. The only thing that scared me was when the chute moved suddenly and surprised me. Other than that I was fine even when they let I sink towards the water pretending to drop me in the water but speeding up at the last minute. It was a great experience in total. The evening was quite good too. After doing a bit of sunbathing on the beach, I finally found the barmaid at work so I went and had a chat with her for a while to pass the time. I then went into the Jacuzzi for a while where I was joined by two fit lasses to my pleasure. Nothing happened though and I spent the evening in the usual way, watching Super 12 rugby and reading. I had another bad nights sleep due to the noisy lads!
