It was freezing cold, when we got off the boat my son fell straight into a puddle and was soaked, so he was miserable. I had brought a picnic, and nearly came to blows with the resteraunt manager because he wouldnt let us eat it in his cafe. There was only us in there - I said I would buy food from him so we could sit in there, he said no! ARRGH! Outside a lady with a little girl in a WHEELCHAIR said they had been turfed out too! What a :censored: that manager is! The only seating not out in the rain was in a little hut...soon as we sat down and unopacked all the food, 4 year old decides shes absolutely DESPERATE for the toilet. I said, sorry, but you will have to wait. Its too far away, and Im not packing up and dragging everyone back out there...silly me! She promptly wets herself. Why she couldnt have told me she needed the toilet while we were out there trying to find somewhere to sit I dont know. All the animals were hiding from the rain, except for the owls and the pigs. In the end I went up to boat people and asked please please PLEASE would they take us home!! (About 3 hours early) Luckily they thought I was mad going out in the fitst place and took us back to base. What REALLY annoyed me though was that the 4 year old was staying on later that day for the trip, which I hadnt asked payment for, or charged for the extra hours. I phoned her mum to say come and pick her up at the river...when she got there she didnt even bother to offer us a lift (knowing full well I dont drive) so we had to stand around in the freezing cold waiting for a bus as she drove merrily past.
Worst Trip Ever!!!
