Today, Dad, Declan and I went zip lining. It was awesome. There were 15 tree top platforms, connected by 11 zip lines and 2 skybridges. (If you do the math, and this doesn't quite work out, it's because there was a trail between two of the platforms.) There were also 3 vertical descents, including 1 of about 60 feet. The whole adventure was called Flight of the Gibbons because you're supposed to be able to see and hear Gibbons (or, if you read their website, because you're supposed to be moving through the trees like a gibbon). We heard them but didn't see them.
The ziplines were set up by researchers originally, studying the forest canopy and the gibbons. Now, they are owned by a company which does tourist stuff.
Mom was, of course, terrified, since she's afraid of heights. And she managed to be terrified without even being there. We took some videos so she would know what she missed. We've tried to embed one here, but we can't get it to upload. We'll try again tomorrow.

Totally incredible! We are terrified, too, but what an experience. D & D
ReplyDeleteSorry about "tomorrow". We completely forgot. (I'm about to try again from Phuket with a better connection.)
