Youtube Line zipping away!
So today we got out of bed at around 6am again to go on the early morning Jungle Flight. Jungle flight? Yup, ziplining & abseiling in the forest around Chiang mai...Around...well a good 1h ride out of town, with the end over some really bumpy, up&down curving track into the forest. Finally Line arrived there feeling pretty sick. Just the road or also a bit of fear?
I can conclude jungle flying in a nutshell as great fun! Lucky we took the early morning timeslot, so only the 2 of us & another young couple from norway. They took the longer package, so on the lines itself we were all alone with 2 guides. Boston & Mike. Mike the quite sidekick for hangover-, ex army ranger-, comedian Boston. Real name in thai was something I can't remember but means "With the blessing of buddha" or alike, although if you mis pronounce 1 part of the word in thai it means stupid...too many foreingers kept calling him 'stupid' everyday so he came up with something a bit easier :-)) Now we didn't have to wait long at any platform, had more then enough time to try some different moves while flying or looking out into the forest. Normal group size is 10-12p...wow, that's lots of waiting time...folder claims a 6h activity, if your 2 it takes about a good 1h. 1h zipping, 5h waiting? Take the early slot!
Line quickly felt relieved that she didn't get as scared as she feared, probably the really secure feeling she got from all the hooks & safetylines helped a bit...also the lines aren't superfast/megadrops through the forest, more "balanced thrills" ;-) After a good lunch we headed back to town passing some hot springs, unfortunately they boil at around 100°C so forget about some skinnydipping.
Tomorrow change of scenery. We head to another guesthouse with a luxury garden/pool nextdoor, let's hope the good weather stays on so Line can tan the bike shorts of her body before heading back home ;-)
