Zip lining pictures!

Happy New Year everyone. Despite having all the time in the world to write updates during our near 2 week holiday time off, we just didn't. Ha!

At the very least we do have something to share with you all. We finally got the pictures from our zip lining tour.


This is our training session. It was just the 4 of us on our tour. As the day got later the groups got bigger so we were glad we did it early. They made the training fun by adding some silly jokes. Always appreciated and the outdoor classroom wasn't bad either.


Steven is first up. They trained us to lift our leg so that they can attach you. Steven didn't need to.



And away he goes! In perfect form too. Feet out arms straight. They wanted us to have feet out first so that we can get used it it. You assume cannon ball position when you want to go faster.


This is what everyone else had to do to have our harnesses reach the cable. One leg up, and for super shorties like me you need to hop a little.



Here I go!


Next line. The photographer gets me waiting my turn in the background.



One of the lines went through a tunnel. That was pretty cool and exciting. The camera man magically appeared in each location before we did even though he left his position after we had all passed. It was very confusing.




This next picture is cool because you can see how long and how high these lines actually are. I don't remember seeing much jungle floor during our whole time there. There were a bunch of platforms built for the lines.


Half way through they had a rest stop with cold water. Not a moment too soon.


Now that he's refreshed, Steven goes super fast!



Another group picture.


The final line was the racing one. It wasn't so much a race as getting to go in pairs. But if you're keeping score, I won.



And the after picture.
