Riding zip lines through the jungle canopy


This is just a quick post to go along with the video. We really enjoyed our 'play' time together this day. It was so beautiful looking at the forest from a birds eye view. The trees themselves are huge and gorgeous. Platforms were made between trees and their were over a dozen zip lines of differing lengths and 3 repel lines. It was hard to tell how high we were because a lot of times there would be a canopy of leaves below us. Sometimes we were able to get a peek though the leaves at the floor and we were VERY high! This forest is a coffee and tea growing area and we got to see first hand the coffee and tea trees and how the local villagers pick them. Many of the trees are growing on such steep hills that I wouldn't even consider walking down them... and they are harvesting their crops without any difficulties!

  1. Hey Boefjes,
    I think I forgot to click 'post' on my previous post so you didn't get it but Tessa wanted to know why she couldn't see Kara sliding in the trees, "but I hear Kara, she's laughing." Thank you for the videos, great entertainment when I'm trying to cook! Great expression on Bart's face when he almost knocked the guy off the ledge. ha!

    You are 17 hours away now....what!!! I'm having a hard time trying to calculate, Thailand was much easier. Hope you had a good flight and can't wait to hear your first impressions. I know English will be welcoming to your ears.

    Miss you. Carrie and Tessa
