It turned out that The Water Park is one of the largest water parks in Europe, and there were a ton of slides for us to try out. What was even better was that because it isn't peak season yet, there were no queues for any of the slides.
The slides were great - some were fun, some terrifying and we chickened out on a few of the ones which had sheer drops - I chickened out more than Gina and Carla. It was a great way to spend the day though, out in the sun, and in the afternoon we headed to the horse trek, which was on a small farm nearby.
We were greeted by an adorable little dog that looked like Baxter from Anchorman, and our instructor was really excited to show us their puppies - their dog had just had a litter three weeks ago, and the wee puppies were so cute! She tried to get us to take one but as much as I wanted to, I had to resist.
We set out on the trek and it was such a relaxing way to finish off what had been quite a hectic day - that is, until Gina fell/jumped off her horse! We had just reached the beach, and the instructor decided only then to warn Gina that her horse likes to roll around in the sand. She said not to worry, the horse only does it sometimes, but gave her a riding crop just in case. No sooner had she been given the riding crop, the horse decides to lie down, so Gina jumped off, scraping her knee in the process and getting as far away from the horse as possible.
This caused a wee bit of a problem as after having a good roll around (which was super cute if you weren't Gina), it wandered off and our instructor had to spend a few minutes trying to coax it back.
Anyway, as the cliche goes, Gina got back on the horse and we trekked back to the riding club.
