French Trip: vendredi - un jour de relaxation

Well quite naturally, after such a hectic week, it was important that Friday afternoon was a quiet, relaxing affair, allowing everyone a chance to recover their strength in preparation for the long journey home.  So what could have been better than spending some time by the pool?

or indeed, taking a nice dip?

Some of the boys decided that they would try mud treatment for skin exfoliation...

Clearly it was invigorating...

and enjoyable...

The beneficial effects of the treatment were clearly evident in the increased energy levels of the group...

So much so that they decided to tackle the assault course, climbing over...

and through..

 and over (again)...

with renewed energy. 

Sometimes it all rather resembled a scene from a movie...

 ... 'Lord of the Flies' comes to mind...

or perhaps 'Rambo'...

or, in the case of the final obstacle, 'Tarzan'.  Herewith Freddie preparing for the 'swing across the water' stunt...

 

 Jasmine, in full swing, shows how it should be done. 

 What could possibly go wrong???

 

 Well, quite a lot actually...

 ... and I'm not sure the water was quite as warm as you might think but, judging from the number of times the children fell in, it must have been lovely???

 It was a great end to the week.
