I crashed straight after duties, with my cabin-mates Stevie and Alex already doing so. Danielle and Emma came in and made one hell of a racket, which called for the (probably anticipated) "shut up!" Like the night before, it didn't take long for sleep to find me.
The next day started in much the same fashion, with the addition of Mrs Vundy coming into our cabins and blowing a whistle as our wake up call. Her cackle of glee could be heard from miles away. Gee, thanks. Breakfast was the same as Saturday. White bread. Ugh. Peanut butter. Yay! It was too wet for us to waste heat and energy with an outside activity, so we huddled in the meeting room and played a game to help us understand the stock market. It wasn't as bad as it may sound. Sparing all the details, our team came second on $1600, when we started with $300. Jonty's group kicked everyone's arse, with them ending on $6900. He does take level 3 eco though, so we weren't too bummed. Next we had "The Amazing Race." This was essentially a Camp Kaitoke version of the real thing, with clues, "money," "planes, buses" and detours. The detour was a riddle and the planes and buses were teachers and Harry (the Rathkeale tutor) taking us to the place that we needed to go. The downside of the "transport"? We had to sing the whole way, otherwise they stopped. We stuck to the alphabet and twinkle twinkle little star. Our team came fourth, with Olivia getting us out of the final task, archery, early, with a hit earning us 30 points when we had to get 100 as a team to leave. Nice work :). After this we returned to our cabins for showers and to get our stuff to take to the bus. We said thank you to the instructors and left, sore muscles and high spirits, to return to home and school.
