Booze Cruise
Enjoying our GOON!Cintsa was yet another place that many travellers we'd met had told us that we must visit. Fortunately by now we'd learnt to keep our expectations low so as not to be disappointed when these places weren't all they were cracked up to be. We were very happy however before we even arrived as from the shuttle we saw our first game sighting of the trip, a couple of zebra, wildebeast and bonking giraffes! When we read a sign at reception saying not to panic if you found a snake in your bed we breathed a sigh of relief that our tent was so far snake proof! Buccaneers was the BP we stayed in and it was an awesome place set on a massive property between the beach and lagoon and only a stones throw from the two shops and pub that made up town!

Swimming in the river, cant see any snakes yet! where. By lunch time a fresh SE wind blew in and we were now taking on water. We made it back just before we sank! We ventured into "town" for an ice cream and also found a beautiful bar/restaurant called Michaelas where we took an inclinator to a sundeck for an hour or so of cold Czech Pilsners in the sun. Everyday at Bucc's they put on a free activity for the guests. Todays free activity was a booze cruise. About twenty of us piled onto a large barge shaped tinny armed with two boxes of goon, plastic cups and a couple of spliffs. There was no room left on board for the resident pooch so he swam along beside us the whole time. It wasn't quite up to a Sydney Harbour cruise but it was fun and a novel way to meet other travellers. By the time we left Cintsa the next morning we were satisfied that we'd seen enough and that we hadn't let our expectations get the better of us. We also met Kris and Laurel, both from Canada and who we'd be hangin out with the best part of the next week.
