Saturday was spent studying for upcoming exams. Simon picked up a locum Saturday shift with the paeds department.
Sunday, we planned to have an amazing day canyoning at The sleeping God canyon, about an hour and a half north of here. The plan was to meet Gem and her friend there and then head back to Hamilton after. At 6am we got up and drove up to the Coromandel to get a phone call from Gem saying that they'd decided to cancel the trip based on the overall 'fitness' of the group. The website claimed you only needed moderate level of fitness, which we all think we have. Turned out, that after all our complaining and ringing head office, the 2 guides were just trying to palm us off with excuses as they couldn't be bothered. We even got a phone call from the company boss who was in Chile at the time, saying he couldn't explain his guides actions but was sorry. We were absolutely fuming after getting up at 6am to do it. So instead we headed up to auckland and went on a little adventure up a river and had our own little canoning experience before heading over to a friends for a much needed BBQ. Not bad day in the end.
