Jen's Hen Do!!

Hilarious fun! We met at Ratho (Indoor Climbing Arena just outside Edinburgh) to do the Aerial Assault Course - you get harnessed in and then have to step off a ledge 100 feet above the ground to begin!! Of course Jen was first, and she did really well because its a bit scary at first, and I had the advantage of having done it before :) Everyone either enjoyed it, or was at least happy/proud of themselves for doing it!

Here's a video of Jen taking the big step...



We came back to the flat and had a brilliant time getting ready to go out and having Jen open some random presents that everyone had brought - she had to either wear or carry all the presents, and ended up looking pretty ridiculous after everything had been opened! Plenty of jelly shots and punch (which ended up having parsley instead of mint in it, oops) were consumed! I'd made a 'special book' for her, which everyone had contributed to - pictures & stories/quotes/words to describe her and some funny incidents she'd had with various people. It turned out pretty well and I think she was really touched by it :)
After several drinks and a lot of hilarity we headed into Koi - a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant where they cook the food in front of you... the food was fantastic, plenty more wine was consumed and everyone had a good time. After that we went dancing at Le Monde on George Street - mum's first trip to a night club, she was loving it! It was a really great day/night and I hope Jen had as much fun as I did!!
