Throw them in the water!

Paka River Camp was fabulous. Seriously. I enjoyed it loads. Kayaking with Daniel, Eileen and Henry was really funny because we kept colliding and arguing over whose fault it was. Trekking up the waterfall was great too, especially when we reached the top and swam in the icy-cold water. Persist C's such a fun group to be in!

The solo part of the night walk was really funny too. When I was about 25 metres away from the main gate, i heard someone muttering off the path, under the trees. I ignored it and continued walking on, and after a few steps i heard someone running after me. I turned around and saw the "red-faced man", wearing a hood and a long-sleeved black shirt with white designs on it, who [if i remember correctly] was quite tall. He stopped running when i turned around, and i didn't know what i was supposed to do, so i turned and started walking again. Then i heard him running towards me again, so i turned around, and he was just a few steps away from me at this time, so i ventured a "Hello!". Then after a second's pause, he huskily muttered "hello", and disappeared back into the bushes. I wanted to laugh badly, so i hurried on until i reached the gate. I don't know why i didn't recognise the people standing behind the gate, the gate was closed and they were just looking at me from behind it, so i thought they were pretending to be ghosts too, so i walked on past the gate until one of them came out with a torchlight. I could hardly stop laughing at myself.

Everything else went smoothly at camp. I'm really glad for having experienced these activities.
