Black mountain water park - release the child inside


Then it was weekend. We went to Black mountain waterpark together with Jaco and Yolinda. Now if there is a little child inside of you dying to get out – this is absolutely the place to go. For only 450 baht (R127) you get a whole day of insane fun. There is 12 different waterslides, a lazy river, 4 pools, a bar built inside a pool, a sauna pool (whytheheck do you want a sauna pool in Thailand??!!), a water ski-park, a fake ocean (VERY fake – no sand and the whole think is made out of cement, the only proof that it is a fake ocean is the fact that you get 2 big waves every hour thrown at you).
My favorite received the nick name of “WITMONSTER” (white monster). It is a super tube that basically has a straight drop to the ground and while you plummet to earth a 1000m/s you get thrown through 5 – 6 loops. (And I wondered who wants to wear a helmet on a super tube.) A very cool ride where you don’t know if the wetness is caused by the water in the ride or by the water in the body…)

















 


















After the park Steven and I went to Tesco to buy some meat – we were making a South African lunch for ourselves and some other starved souls at the Centennial (at a fee of course) on Sunday.
This is how our grilled pork fillet and slap tjips (French fries) turned out (not a bad deal at 100 baht per person if you ask me):







We made our money back that we spent… (now that is what you call clever) after about 2 hours in front of our small stove we finally got the end result and we ate as much as we could get in. After resting for a while I said to Brian we must go to the beach, because we had nothing to do (the others were busy preparing lesson plans for the next day – but since Brian is a lesson development machine we were finished within an hour) so off we went…


















And this is how we ended of our first weekend in Hua hin. Getting ready for a whole week of developing lesson plans and presenting them to our fellow students. (Yes it wasas much fun as it sounds like...)
