Zip Lining!!!

What an adventure we had today!!!  This morning we headed out around 7:30a.m. for a horseback ride, zip lining, and volcanic mud bath tour.  It was about another hour drive to our destination.  First up, a horseback ride up the mountain to get to the zip lines.  I think this was the first time I’ve been horseback riding where the horses didn’t really stay in a straight line.  The horses kept changing positions and doing their own thing which made it kind of fun.  It was a really scenic ride that took about a half an hour. 

Next stop . . ziplining.  There were 10 zip lines in all and they were so much longer and better then the zip lines we had previously done in St. Martin.  Even the people we were with who had done zip lining in Costa Rica before, said these were better zip lines.  The guys running the zip line were great.  They let several of us girls go “supergirl” style which was us strapped to the guide with us facing down and arms out like we were flying.  Holy adrennal rush!!!  On the last zip which was the shortest and slowest, several in our group went upside down.  Tom said it was kind of scary!  I didn’t do it as I had the camera.  After ziplining we had a great lunch.  I had steak fajitas and Tom had a chicken sandwich.  The food was very delicious!!  

Next up was the mud bath.  Before we could cake on the mud, we sat in a sauna that was heated by the volcanic hot spring.  Then it was mud time!  It reminded me of our mud experience at the Dead Sea in Jordan!!  After being rinsed off we sat in three different “hot tubs” to finish the cleansing process.  

Once again, a great day with a great adventure!!  Loved every minute of it.  Can’t believe tomorrow is already Wednesday and that we only have a couple of days left.  It’s going by much too quickly!!
