View Full Version : speed boat tour
i just had to tell you all about the brillient tour i went on. it was fantastic. it was set in john o groats, me and few other people had to go on a speed boat to actualy go on the tour. it was suprisingly relaxing. i saw loads of beautiful senery. also i got to see some fab caves and wild life. there was loads of seals aswell got to see all the cute babie pups they were sooooo cute:lol: but what was realy funny was at the end the driver of the boat decided to be funny and kept tipping the boat i almost had a heart attack. also he soked us all but running the engin realy fast and making a splash. its called an ostrige tail or something like that. it was realy good i would recomed it to everyone:lol: i did take some pics but dont no if i could get them on here but ill do my best but im not promising nothin.
