oh boy about 1o hours on 5 different buses. joy. but finally arrived and went to a thermal hot springs spa. oh my god, was soooo good. they had 6 different pools ranging from 55 degrees celcius to 38 degrees. so basically a variety if different temerature baths heated by the very close volcanoe. we even heard it rumble and aw puffs coming out of the top. very cool.
went on a canopy tour the next day and so much fun. its in the monteverde nature park, and although we were actually in a loud and got a bit wet it was really good. go get a full climbing harness on and looking very cool. then you literally get strapped on to the zip line and the guide guy pushes you off, you go about 40mph up to 150 ft off the rainforest floor!!! the longest zip line was 600 m long! there were a variey of heights and lengths.
on my 1st one i paniced and breaked too muc ( yuo break with your hands by pressing down on the wire - with big ass gloves on) and i stopped about 5 ft from the platform so had to pull my arse along with my armws - not fun. bBUT on the next one i didnt break enough and slammed my shins into the metal platform still at about 15mph. OW OW OW WOOWOWWWOOWWWWW. i have such big bruises. the guide didnt trust me 1 inch afetr that and mae me go with him for the next 2 till i insited that i now had the knack. the rest of my landings were perfect, lol.
only thing is once you{ve zipped down all these cables u need to get bacjk up. such a hike!!! then we did a tarzan swing, were you basically launch yourself off a very high platform and kinda bungee across and back. they stop you by throwing a big band around you snd its like ooomph when u stop. so so much fun and my adrenaline is still going.
would be really hood for a sch trip!!! getti8ng to throw kids off high things hee and would certanly wear them out. VAL - i think i might look into it in the UK and relate it to forces and motion etc!!!!
it is very expensive here, since we are used to 2 pound accomodation and 30p fopr a beer. lunch cost us 10 dollars each!!! so planning on getting very early bus tomorrow to san jose and straight ono panama if possiblel. xx
