I've been thinking about you the past week - glad you got back in touch.

The kayaking bit is new to me, though - usually the streams are too steep and boulder-choked to be able to kayak down. It's a heck of a lot of fun, but the one thing to watch out for is the leeches...! We do this a lot in Japan – it’s a great way to cool down in the hot summer months.

I'd imagine that Bear Grylls it the champion at the sport since he does this in almost every episode of Man vs. Wild "without" the safety gear. haha.
