Got up late, 8.30am, and it was great. Took time over breakfast and then the 4 of us went with Gary's niece, Meredith, and her fiance, Ed, picked us up to take us rafting. We went over the Wasatch Mountains, stoped at a supermarket to get goodies for a pic-nic and the went past the Jordanelle Reservoir to the Provo River, inflated a huge raft anf then the 6 of us under Meredith's steerage went down what was quite a lively river, not the quiet drift we had been promised, we had to work hard, got drenched, hit rocks and logs and finally pulled in for lunch in a good spot. Carried on down to the end of the run and then lay about in the sun drying off.
It was a great day and we later went for dinner with Meredith and Ed who are a great couple and getting married in October. The rest day was not exactly 'restful,' but very relaxing and we all enjoyed it a lot.
Today's distance was about 10 miles down a river!!

Hey Dad,
Glad to hear it's still going well. The photo's are great too. Spectacular views.
Just thought I'd say "Happy Fathers Day". Wales lost again to S.A but it was a great game and much closer.
Keep on trucking and can't wait for the next blog installment.
Lots of love
Huw and EJ

Hiya Dad, Happy Fathers Day!! We're all absolutely loving the blog, I log on every evening to see if there are any updates. Well done on uploading the photos too, you're doing well and keeping up to date nicely, which must be tricky with hotel computers.
You're making some significant progress now and got some serious miles under your belt, well done! Just keep those legs spinning and eat and drink plenty - we're all thinking about you. In fact, you've even inspired me to get out on my bike, I did 3 (yes THREE) rides last week, and I haven't ridden since about last September!
Take care Dad.
Love,
Gaz & Hels xx
Thanks for the comments, love to read them, pity about Wales losing.
Love , Dad
