Tad Fane Ziplining, Saturday, December 24th, 2018

I’m so sorry I didn’t manage to get this out before Christmas, I’m trying to keep up with posting, but it can be difficult. Merry Late Christmas to all of you, and I wish you good fortune for the upcoming year!

We went to the “Tad Fane” waterfall (pronounced Tad-fan) to go zip-lining as a little Christmas present to ourselves! I was very excited for the zip-line, but also quite nervous as zooming over a giant waterfall can be a bit of a daunting task. So we hopped on our motorcycle and we were off! When we got to Tad Fane did I was surprised to see that the waterfall was even bigger in person. And it was much taller than I had thought. Making the idea of zip-lining over it even more terrifying. Mom was even getting a little scared!

But eventually Mom and I decided to face our fears, If you don’t try you’ll never know. Luckily we had the guides go with us, so it was a little less scary. It was really funny because before we got on the zip-line Mom started panicking and was trying to talk to the guides to confirm things. She kept asking things like “Am I doing it right?” and “Is this what I’m supposed to do?”

Of course our guides only know basic English, and they had no idea what she was trying to say. Eventually Mom got up a bit more of courage and her and her guide were off on the zip-line. Then, it was my turn…

I just had to keep reminding myself that nothing would happen and that I was perfectly safe. And as the guide pushed off of the platform I found that the actual zip-lining wasn’t that scary at all. It was really nice to be able to take in the beautiful scenery, although looking down was still a bit frightening. Since Mom had got a zip-lining package that included four different zip-lines, we walked a little bit through the jungle to get to the next one. And after we finished the second line, we made our way along the other two lines. They were all really fun, but the first one was definitely the scariest!

After we had finished all four of the lines, we went and had lunch at the Tad Fane restaurant where they had a cute Christmas set up.

Again, I hope you all have a wonderful New Years and that you had a wonderful Christmas.
