Vacation : Day 15 (Bushtucker Canoe Trip)

Day 2 on the Margaret Adventure and I found myself canoeing up the Margaret River on a Bushtucker Tour. Woohoooo! Lots of canoeing befell us as we never travelled in a straight line but rather a big old s-shape. I have come to discover that you don't get very far when you travel that way. But finally we got to a nice place in the river and docked our canoes and had a swim. Wasn't our girl a beaut?
We took to a bit more canoeing after our dip and headed to some limestone caves and a feast of foods you can naturally find in the Australian bush. Some of them - not so tasty. They even had a paste made of grubs. I did not try that.

Our final challenge of the trip was a canoe race. How do you you think s-curve 6 did? Wellllll....they said no rules, so after accidently crashing into 2 other boats (and causing them to lose - SORRY!), Dave and Scott jumped out and pulled the boat to shore. We still didn't win but it was freakin hilarious!

Afterwards the group carried everything back and that was that. Glorious! That night we headed out for a bust up meal at the pub across the road from where we stayed. Unfortunately, all there was was roast, raost, roast. Even the veggies had meat in them and they weren't cooking that night (other then the glorious meat swimming in meat). So off we went in search of another place. Now in Perth and the areas around it, they are having worker shortages similar to that of Edmonton. They can't get enough services workers in so a lot of places have to close early, etc. Jody tried calling a million places when we finally settled on what we thought was an Indian restaurant but turned out to be a Thai. It was AMAZING!! Soo good. I love food. I. Love. Food.
