Surfing Shenanigans

As a reward for putting up with the girls shopping antics we took a trip to Guincho beach so I could go for a surf!!

At a place called Cascais looking for how the hell to get there.

After not surfing for ages I was slightly excited but was soon to be a lot less mobile!!

Only a couple of feet but heaps of fun!! But after landing a bit funny on a floater I managed to slip a disc in my spine which pretty well knacked the remaining holiday for me!!

Waiting for the bus in a crap load of pain. For those who have never had a slipped disc I hope you never do. Quite easily the most painful experience of my life.

On the train home and having some hippy German deep heat kind of cream applied to my back. After a crappy nights sleep which kept Nicola awake due to my excessive moaning in pain we had to go to the Aussie embassy (where we where helped by a Portuguese speaking Aboriginal, not an everyday experience) to find a doctor who spoke English. A hundred Euros later a pain killer shot in my bum and plenty of beer (purely medicinal) I had to fly home the 3 and a bit hours back to Holland. Not the funnest moment in my life by any means!!
