Day 104: Da Lat: Waterfalls and Helmets

Today was an awesome day. After the slight disappointment of the river tour, I was hesitant, but I booked a tour through my hostel to the local park for a day of abseiling and cliff jumping. It was awesome. 

Our team leaders were great, with awesome energy, screaming "don't be lazy, be crazy" all day.

We got geared up with wetsuits, helmets, gloves and life jackets, and started off with a short introduction to abseiling. 

From there, we were straight into it. All up we went down two waterfalls/cliffs, 18 and 16m respectively, jumped off a 8m cliff, guidedly fell down a 13m waterfall and got to use the rapids as a waterslide (headfirst). 

Even though there was a lot of walking between sites, it was spectacular scenery and it wasn't even too bad waiting for other groups.  

They even served us an awesome lunch!! I also won two beers for guessing all of Black Bear's riddles. (His nickname, not ours)

Tomorrow, Nha Trang xx

PS sorry for the lack of posts, just the internet sucks and I can't load any photos or anything. I'll try to be better!!
