Wow,
it has been sweltering hot in the concrete confines of downtown Matsuyama. I and
a group of fellow city dwellers decided to escape the sweaty heat and try our
hand at battling the cool rapids of Yoshino River in Tokushima. Searching
through the many different company names we came across one that would
definitely serve our purpose for a cool fun time out on the water, Happy
Rafting. And ‘Happy’ it was. Before we got started we learnt all the
possible ways we could die on the river and how to prevent them from happening.
As the lecture progressed, one of our team mate’s faces turned a lovely shade
of green as she questioned whether this was really such a good idea.

But once we hit our first rapid all fears were
quickly washed away and they were replaced by adrenalin filled screams of
delight. What an amazing experience plunging head first into large white foamed
rapids, putting all our trust into our guide, the brilliant Takashi, as he
skillfully guided the boat around monstrous jagged rocks. I totally recommend as
a relief from the summer heat, a day of adventure, fun and a yummy bagels lunch,
Happy Rafting.
