Saturday morning we woke up to go canyoning. To our dismay, we found the guide waiting for us to tell us that it was too dangerous to go out because yesterday it had been raining all day and all night and that the river was going to be too high to safely go about the activities...we were all pretty upset, but he told us that we could go the next day, so we took that as consolation. In the morning, we were trying to decide what to do. A bunch of people wanted to go Canyon Jumping because Daniel Toolan had had so much fun doing it the day before. I decided that I would do it because I did not want to find out that we couldn't go canyoning the next day because of rain again. That was scheduled for 4 o
clock in the afternoon.In the meantime, we decided to take a train up to a small town and hike through an area with lots of waterfalls. Though we never actually found the trail that we were supposed to go on, we did get some spectacular views and we did get to see some waterfalls. Everything in this country is petrifyingly beautiful. I purchased a red swiss umbrella as I did not plan ahead and bring my own...I will call that my souvenir from Switzerland haha.
That afternoon was the canyon jump. I will let the video do it justice...sorry that it is sideways *cough Patrice couch*...I have said that I never want to go sky diving because it does not appeal to me- I am not sure what about this suddenly seemed appealing, but I definitely am very glad that I went for it. This trip has taught me more than anything that we really do only live once and need to take advantage of every minute!
After the jump, we headed back to the hostel,
watched Daniel Toolan attempt a local pizza eating challenge, and then headed off to the metro bar one more time. Gummy bears and vodka tonight. Yum! Canyoning tomorrow!
Due to my horrible Internet Connection, I was unable to upload the video on blogger...here is the link to it on facebook!
