Day 8

Hello everyone, sorry for not posting the blog last night until today. We didn’t get back from our amazing trip until 11pm.

The morning began by having another amazing breakfast at eight o’clock, which is getting harder and harder to get up for. After our breakfast, we ventured into the classroom to listen to the rest of the group’s presentations (that was six presentations total). Once the presentations are done, we had time to change into our swimsuits and get ready for a fun adventure. After we had our lunch, which was amazing as always, we took a 1.5 hour drive to Rio Perdido. The first thing was to go zip lining. We didn’t know what to expect, whether it was through woods or across rivers. However, what we saw was truly breath taking. We zip lined through a canyon, and to get to some platforms we had to climb up some rocks, like a ladder. We also got to experience, on the zip line, a mini Tarzan experience across a waterfall. Some people even swung twice. After the Tarzan experience we have to walk across the “OMG Bridge” which the guides would shake causing the “OMG”. The last zip line was giant scenery view, which was amazing. The next adventure we have to take, with the same tour guides, was tubing down a canyon river. This included some rapids. Some people’s greatest memories were the mini heart attack going to the next mini waterfall. Some people fell off due to the rapids and others were flipped. Sadly, we had to end our tubing with a small hike up stairs with the tube. Some of us went to the pool or went to natural hot springs, which had a mud bath. We have to eat an amazing dinner which some tables included playing some games at one table. After our amazing adventure, we had another long bus ride back, which is where many people fell asleep.
