We continued our travels with Morgan’s dad north to Chiang Mai, to explore the historic city and to rent motorbikes for our upcoming road trip (more on this soon). While father and son spent the morning checking out bike shops, I had some time to myself. So what’s a girl to do? Thai massage? Mani pedi? Nah, I decided I’d go zip lining instead.
I was picked up promptly at 6:45 am, for a full day of zip lining, rappelling and a waterfall hike, all courtesy of Flight of the Gibbon. My group, an odd mixture of 3 high school girls, a very tall Australian couple and an older Finnish couple, were greeted by the following sign:
Momentarily scared, we quickly learned how to hook onto the lines and set out for the course, which consisted of:
Two sky bridges
Rappelling down three different ropes, the longest being 40 odd meters
And zipping on 12 lines of various lengths, throughout the jungle.
A better idea of what that was actually like:
Needless to say, it was a great way to spend a day, and one I would happily do again. (Thank you older Finnish couple for taking my photo in front of the “scenic waterfall.”)
