hola! had a surprise day off so went canyoning yesterday (and thats canyoning, not canoeing mispelt as mum thought!) it was so much fun! we climbed and trekked through the rainforest and then came back down through the canyon and the waterfalls running through it. it was a combination of climbing, abseiling, zip line, wading and we also had to do a couple of jumps into the depths of the unknown (the helpful guide expained where to aim in order to miss the rocks etc) the abseiling ranged from about 5 metres to 40 metres. at first i was reluctant to touch the rocks and trees etc due to the poisonous spiders and biting ants but i quickly learnt to hold on for dear life whenever i could! it was something i'd definitely do again but i seriously doubt they do it in england due to health and safety. went out last night with our canyoning guides and a couple of other locals. they don't speak english so my spanish is greatly improving! i love tena and i'm kinda wishing now that i'm staying here for longer rather than going to santa martha in a couple of weeks! speak soon steph x
