I wanted to do something totally different for my 50th - and I did.
Never been kayaking before - that's me at Paramata this morning.

Many happy returns Dee! That looks like a lot of fun, I want to do that sometime soon. Have toyed with the idea of buying my own, too.

I guess our invitation to the big party got lost in the post...

Thanks for the birthday wishes. You don't have to buy , you can rent kayaks for $12 an hour or $30 for 4 hours. It was good fun, I'll be doing it again. Paul & Jamie had never done it before either.

Happy (belated) Birthday Dee.
Good for you having a go - did you fall in at all I wonder?
I would have problems getting in and out - what a sight that would be.
Well done
Jackie

Happy Birthday!! What a great thing to do to mark the occasion. I think I would be too worried about getting stuck in the damn thing and if my husband replies to that comment he is in BIG trouble!!!

No, didn't fall in. The kayaks we got were real safe ones.
