Monte verde (part 2) - Dec 2

Today went zip lining (which is the thing to do in Monte verde), really enjoyed it. Sort of thing I used to do in scouts. Was supposed to get picked up at the hostel but for some reason they forgot me (perhaps because I booked so late .. didnt want to get involved in the hard, pressure sell from the bloke at the desk of the hostel), anyway I got a cab up the bumpy pot holed filled road and arrived when the 20 or so people had been all kitted up (gloves, harness, hard hat). 

The group "Extremo" have rigged things the lines up in the cloud forest, with the wires straddling the valley. They move you through really fast which is good .. there was probably 8 zip lines (some of which you go tandem), as well as a Tarzan Swing (this highlight involved a rope dangled out which you swing off after a 15 foot free fall), and 1 superman. 

Me in the cloud forest .. all harnessed up.

The superman was a 1 km long zip line but you go head first, and you can't break. Felt very unnatural, to be looking down into a ravine from this height.
