The boat trip

Hi,
I enjoyed the week in London, but there was one day which I will never forget because it was so funny. It was the day in Cambridge when we made a boat trip on the river Cam. Stefan, Wolfgang, the two Georgs and I were in one boat and we could not manage to drive it properly. We drove from one waterside to the other in a kind of zig-zag fashion and because of this we - of course! - crashed into every bridge on the way and one time even into the shrubbery. We also crashed into a boat which was driven by a Chinese couple because they also could not manage to drive the boat. Finally we made it back somehow, but about 15 minutes too late and we had to apologise to the person at the boat rental service. Although everybody in our boat was wet and angry I am still smiling when I remember the boat trip, because everybody thought he could drive the boat better, but none of us was any better at driving the boat than the other.
