4. Ziplining

Our next excursion the following day was a ziplining trip. 

OMG how much fun is this. I had never been ziplining before. So essentially there is 10 lines of varying lengths strung between the trees at a significant height above the ground.  Throw in a tarzan swing and a couple of rappels (repels?) and you have the makings for loads of fun.  I was quite surprised my legs didnt turn to jelly being so high up in the trees but for some reason I was completely comfortable...more than comfortable with the whole thing.  I was even hanging upside down in the harness a couple of times, intentionally!  The guides were really good fun but also very professional and didnt miss a beat clipping and unclipping us so that we were attached at all times.  The guides thought I was crazy ...imagine that...!  So when one of them said to me.."hey Lynda do you wanna have some fun" on the second rappel I should have gotten suspicious.  Lets just say it was a fast descent..:)!  Too funny.  I think I laughed my way around the whole thing.  It was a blast.  I am definitely doing it again before I leave. 

Oh yeah, they had a butterfly enclosure and a serpentarium too.
