The tour was "non-touristy" which meant group sizes were limited to 8 people and we did activities in locations that are off the beaten trail. One of these was a bike ride around a local village.
In theory this should be fun. In Gwen's case, her limited biking skills added even more amusement to the day - more for the local villagers and our Dutch companions than for us!
Upon turning off the main road and onto the bike track, Gwen lost control of her bike and ended up diving head first into the creek. She was completely submerged and came out browner than me!
Luckily, the bike did not fall into the water.
Unluckily, Gwen's camera did.
Here are a couple of shots taken a bit before the incident, and one taken after she had a shower in the nearby house.

Guys told you not to buy that camera! It's not too durable.
ReplyDeleteBreaking a Leica camera is as easy as... well... falling off a bike!

ReplyDeleteTime to go through the insurance fine prints. Or buy a leica carrycase so the mugs know exactly where to take it from you ;)
Even the thought if it is making me cringe. I don't recall reading a more expensive blog recently.
