Luge-nessy

On the 30th we went to the church in the morning, then into town to go Lugein, down hill gravity karts. Taking the gondola to the top we eventual arrived at the start line. On our first run we had to go down the basic track, probably a good idea to learn the controls and get the feel of the kart. However after a few corners i got a bit bored of going slow so started to zoom past fat middle aged people and smalls India children but i came up a com-up-ance getting stuck behind a middle track driver. But i saw my chance; at various point there were slow lanes that wiggle away from the main track then back further along. Tubs didn't take this so i did and after a bit of smooth driving i burst out in front of him over taking another kart in the progress. The 2nd run was a good one down the medium track then it was onto the hard, a mean course with bend after bend, banked corners and a few places to get a bit of air a bruise your bum. After flying down this course literally in some places, I waited for Davey to appear. After a while a was thinking "sanka, ya dead man" and after a while more of thinking maybe he is dead he popped round the corner. It turned out he'd had quite a spectacular crash on one corner his steering locked up and he went straight into the crash barrier, being flung out of the kart and one to the bank in front, while the kart itself continued to spiral though the air landing a few meters further down the track. So we went back to the medium course, towards the end of the course i slowed down to let Davey catch and shorted the waiting time, but id forgotten about the split in the track and he was already waiting for me. Seeing this i sped up...a bit too much and went crashing into the kart park; where they were transported onto a conveyor belt then attached to a chair left to get them back to the top. However due to my speed i had been unable to stop and now found my foot stuck between the ball and the kart and was being dragged along the belt. this hurt. after a while i was freed by the nice man got a bit of ice for my foot then went down the luge for the last time. we had got to bus into town but they didn't do return tickets and as a result we were out of cash so walked back into town. where we were picked up and met the 3rd german.
