Splish Splash Were Hav'in A Laugh

This weekend brought the sun out and boy was it hot, what better way to cool of than a dip in the old swimming pool, but with us being us this had to be taken up a gear, So were all went to the 'Big Hippo' water park in Guangzhou for some fun and games.
Flume tubes, water slides, scared Chinese folks as pasty white foreigners fly past them, this was all on offer. They have one of the highest slides I have ever seen, and once you see my mate who's 210lbs going down that you have seen everything, run for the hills.
We did the black hole tire ride which was great fun, pitch black sitting on an inflatable tyre, whizzing down, swinging left & right before being shot out and dropping top the pool below. Some of the rides had seen better days and a few of us ended up with scratch marks, but this was nothing compared to our ladies who got the shock of there lives, when there bikinis shoot into private places at 20mph ohhhhhhhh. Still after a few beers, yes beers too, all that pain is soon forgotten.
After being totally childish for almost 6 hours we headed off home for a quick change (and some of my spicy dumplings, (papa Rik's speciality) before going out that evening for our friend Selines leaving do.This was a great evening with BBQ food, cocktails and most importantly a free bottle of Whisky from our good friend, which Thomas and our duly polished off, well it would have been rude not too, surface to say everyone left feeling great ad woke up the next day feeling crap, the true signs of a good night out.
