the word ‘river’ stretched to its limits<\/h2>\n
upon inspection, n\u00fap\u00e1 ‘river’ appears to be running out of water & the chances of finding any lifeform in it seem remote at best. this might explain why 3 days in n\u00fap\u00e1 cost less than the people fishing in the adjacent river spend on footware weekly<\/p>\n
dis does not stop the avid fishermen for more than 2 hours or so & eventually they embark on a drive up to the old dam\/power station to see if they couldn’t at least catch a ghost of a fish<\/p>\n

musbile has jeepish tendencies<\/h2>\n
after an hour or two of the musbile taking the gang wherever they wished, up & down river to try & catch a little something, driving over rough terrain & crossing rivers as if it was a jeep, dey gives up & returns to the palace to throw a few burgers on the bbq & create art out of’em<\/p>\n
den an attempt at finishing all the beer & da whiskey too<\/p>\n
jodaz takes great pride in his devotion to the cause of finishing the excellent wiskey with a bit of coffee<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
day 2<\/h1>\n
da moment dey wakes up, da gang starts talking about fishing some more<\/p>\n
in some 6-8 hours, they do<\/p>\n
musbile takes them half the way down to the ocean, where dey was actually supposed to find fish<\/p>\n
so, next up is about a 2-3 km walk down to where the river is bubbling with fish eager to take any bait & jump up on land. even if all you have for bait is rotten mackerel<\/p>\n
with a well timed break, they make it der in about 1,5 hours<\/p>\n
<\/a> <\/a>\n
note the drastic change in sea level in a mere 56 mins…

trapped!!!<\/h2>\n
at first it was just cool watching the water rise, but suddenly it dawns upon’em! dey was trapped on a wee island :\/<\/p>\n
deir only chance of survival seems to be calling the coastguard, quite an expensive exercise indeed<\/p>\n
jodaz just kept on fishing as if nothing was going on…<\/p>\n
den it comes to’em!<\/p>\n
(well, comes to jodaz, actually) <\/p>\n
dey must swim back to the mainland!! swim for dear life!!<\/p>\n
after a wee bit of experimenting, dat soon gets downgraded to wading<\/p>\n
<\/a> <\/a>\n
there are pics of jonkurteiz & siggimus actually wading across,
\n
but … well … no!! never!!!!

well, most if not all survived this ordeal, only to face another!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
walk of death<\/h2>\n
walking back to the musbile with two sets of cold, wet balls & one pair of legs in warm boots that reach up to the ear. da terrain was rough; dry, soft & boggy<\/p>\n
a large number of hours later, dey actually makes it to da musbile & never has a cold-wet-balled & lobster-red-armed & tired man been as happy to see his musmobile<\/p>\n
evening<\/h2>\n
what little remained of the evening was spent sharing memories of lives flashing by, continuously<\/p>\n
sum-up<\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
on way home, dey come to the conclusion dat while the fishing was a miserable failure & the drinking not up to par, dey can at least take pride in de fact dat dey were swift & efficient at the cleaning up… <\/p>\n
