Day 116 Gibbon Day 2 30 May 2012

The jungle is loud at night, but we both managed to get a couple of hours of sleep. We woke up around 6am for a zip-line loop before breakfast.
 
After breakfast we carried on with our backpacks for a 2 hour hike to the next tree-hut.
 
Although the zips are fun they are also hard work- especially if you use the hand-brake too soon or slide backwards away from the landing platform. Here Ana is using all her might – you can see the effort in her face. 



 From this tree-hut we did an extra loop of zip-lines before we settled down and relaxed for the evening.


We were able to take a nice cold shower while seeing the water drop below, a remarkable experience. Ana thought ‘this must be what being a rain-cloud feels like.’


We stayed in the penthouse (private second-story sleeping area).
Exhausted and aching we went to bed straight after dinner (which is brought to us from a kitchen on land).
In total today we did 19 zips.
