Rainforest fun!
Cuckoo!
The second day here we took a trip to the rainforest for some fun!
We all squeezed into a mini bus for a 2,5 hours car ride up to the foot of a volcano.
Finally up there we started off with a canopy tour, zip lining, above the tree tops.
Good fun, many laughs and great views later some of us continued a more extrem version of the zip line, some went water sliding and some of us took a walk on hanging bridges.
On our way up to the zip lining station a nice walk into the forest took us to the top of a 400 m long water slide ( longest in Costa Rica) filled with fresh mountain water.
If you are in to water slides I think this would have been a fun one, at least by judging by the thrilled noises and excited faces that passed us in a swoosh on our way up.
I chose to walk the hanging bridges after my canopy tour.
Incredibly blurry picture but it still gets a sense of what it was like walking on those bridges.
Beautiful and with a view from the "top" this walk offered a different perspective than a walk on the ground and with a little more adrenaline involved.
I so love to be out there in the nature looking at the fauna and greeting one or two monkeys or birds. Unfortunately this time of year almost no flowers are present but on the other hand the green colour offer a wide spectra of hues. Definitely good enough for me!

There was no opportunity for me to take pictures during the zip lining unless I was willing to risk the safety of my phone but this walk offered the same view, and was more camera friendly, so would also have been a good alternative for those who did not want to hang in a cable:)
After lunch next adventure was scheduled: horseback riding!
A trip through the forest, countryside and up and down hills.
So fun to bounce through the nature carried by the horse. In these days, this age and at this weight I will have to be grateful that "something" actually is able to carry me:)
The horse ride ended at a natural spa in the middle of the rainforest.
A mud bath and hot springs from the volcano, and a back massage ended that fantastic day.
With skin smooth as a baby butt ( I don't think that is an appropriate word in the US but could not think of anything else) after the mud, body and mind relaxed we just could not do anything else but chilling and enjoying the forest's beauty.
A walk in the sunshine and under the small "suns" will have to sum up that day both activity wise and experience wise for all of us.
So many laughs and so much adrenaline all mixed together with good friends created a nice pot of satisfaction.
That day we were the best team of heroes and supermen/women but one little super girl deserves the first price:
Ms Bella!!!
She was zip lining, walking the bridges, and riding the horses like she had never done anything else!
A brave approach and a true inspiration to all of us old foxes!!!
Rainforest fun to remember!
