A return to Nelson where we found this beauty a couple of days ago. A couple of days ago it was closed. But not permanently. It just opens for the weekends now. Which I think means that we are technically no longer in the holiday season over here. Although it is still plenty hot enough for a go on one of these.
I wailed and moaned until Annie agreed that we could come back when it was open. Me and Jay spent an hour walking, not running, to the top of this one slide and then flying down it on the spongy mat provided. No time for a rest. No time for discussing the intricacies of the ride. Not much to discuss really, there's just this slide. You go down it. In fact there is nothing else here. You pay for half an hour or an hour and you get to go on the one slide. There's no pool other than the one you land in, which is immediately occupied by the next grinning bullet of flesh to appear from the tube. There's no seating area nor refreshment stand. You just go on the slide then return to the top like an inverted Sisyphus until your time runs out and you are abruptly told you can't do it any more.
But a thirst quenched for the moment. Further water slide reports will follow.
Dear Fran & Annie
ReplyDeleteI don't know about my fellow Followers (yes, you with your mysterious silhouettes) but I'm loving your progress reports and joyful that you seem to be having such fun. Where are you now? I ask because I'm missing my weekly dose of your doings. Can you post a map of your journey so far? And more pics and movies, please, not to mention water slide reports.
Yours impatiently, and lots of love to you and the boyz,
