Day 6

Howzitgoin.

Well, Group 4 is back on the blog.

Last night it was Jamie's birthday party at a karaoke hall. The Beached Ham put our singing prowess to the penultimate test and group 4 stepped up to the plate and smashed out Teenage Dirtbag. We have been practicing at every available moment, much to the enjoyment of the people around us. Mr Beacham busted out the Freddy Mercury, it bought a tear to his own eye,  not really but there were dogs barking in the distance . Our group was not the only one to bust out some lyrical greatness, with hits including Sk8r boi, Bohemian Rhapsody, I'm yours, Let's get it started and according to Karaoke tradition we sang We are the champions to finish. Our singing was described as "rainbows touching pots of gold on the hills where the unicorns lay."

Some of us woke up with sore throats and Matt couldn't speak. Wake up was at 4am this morning as we had to leave early to arrive at the Pagsanjan falls. It was a beautiful two hour drive over the mountains. Everyone slept on the bus and the driver had to listen to snores and screams from the Godfather (Mr Puzey) who suffers from ferocious night terrors. The bridge that we usually take to the falls was broken so we all piled on to a party boat and raved our way up the river. On reaching the falls we got in to groups of three and put on life jackets and helmets and then jumped on to our canoes. Matt, Connor and Mr Beacham had a faulty boat that couldn't balance so it was always full of water. Every boat had two Filipinos who pulled us up rapids using their legs to propel us off rocks and push us further up the river.

When we reached the top of the river, we piled on to a bamboo raft that ended up under water with the weight of us Aussies. We were pulled under a massive water fall with the water pummelling us and the guides thought this would be a good time to take photos. The cruise back down the rapids was a lot easier for the Filipino paddlers.
Upon our return, our hard work of relaxing in canoes was rewarded with a buffet lunch which included, vegetable soup, fried chicken, fermented cabbage, spring rolls, spicy broccolini and spinach and rice. It was scrumptious.

Then we all piled on the bus for another two hour trip with more snoring and night
terrors. Then Mr Beacham forced us to have an afternoon nap, which was well deserved after doing nothing all day.

In the afternoon we did rotations which involved feeding program, children's home and preparation for the devotions tonight at the children's home.

Bucketeers signing off.
