Last weekend we went to hotel
Los Lagos at the base of Volcan Arenal. It is one of the cone-topped volcanoes in Costa Rica.
My favorite thing we did was
zip lining. First we went to a practice
line, which was very short and low to the ground. Then we went in a 4X4 truck up the mountain. Next, we got onto the first platform. There were a few people ahead of me and they
went zipping down the line. Finally, it
was my turn. It was a little scary at
first, but then I loved it.
I heard the line making a
sound like a bee as I zipped along.
While I was flying through the air, I saw the brown and green grass in
the countryside, farm houses, beautiful, green treetops, and at the end I saw
horses.
I went on fourteen different
length lines. Every time the guide on
the platform at the far end of the line was ready for another person to come he
hit the cable with the bottom of his hand.
It made a sound on the end where we were waiting and that meant go! I felt excited when I heard it because that
meant I was going to go soon.
Overall I loved it. I didn't like the harness, though. The equipment on it was a little heavy. Zip lining was still so exciting!
