Day 115 Gibbon Day 1 30 May 2012

After the recommendation of one of Martijn’s colleagues Alex, we put ourselves in for an amazing Tarzan like adventure called the Gibbon*Experience. In a few words it means sleeping in tree huts in the jungle trying to spot Gibbon monkeys, while zip-lining from tree to tree. We picked the more adventurous (more hiking) Waterfall option (3 days 2 nights) and saw early on we were not only the oldest of our group, we were also the boring married couple.  After a 2 hour (jeep) drive followed by a 3 hour strenuous  hike we arrived at our first zip line. Tired of the hike but still full of adrenaline we zip-lined over the top of the jungle canopy.  

However, we were a little too terrified/concentrated to see much of the view. Another zip brought us to our accommodation for the night: a tree-hut 40meters/120feet high.

After dinner and a card game (the cards provided by the always prepared old married couple) we called it a day and settled in for the night where we could hear the jungle lullaby us to sleep.

In total today we did 2 zips.
