Today we left beautiful Monteverde. But we made one last stop before we left town...extremo zipline park. It was one of the things that Rhen really wanted to do on this trip and we heard the best ones in the country are in Monteverde. On the drive up to the park we made one little detour to snap a quick picture of the Brahma cows that are all over this part of the country and ones that we have lovingly begun to call the “bowls of ramen”. We couldn’t leave without a picture of our mascots of the trip :)
The zip line tour turned out to be AMAZING! We all loved it! Rhen and Rease were a tiny bit nervous not quite knowing what to expect, but the lines started out small and they got the hang of it quickly. We saw some gorgeous views from way up there, got to ride tandem a couple of times and soared like Superman on our last run of the morning. We could hear the howler monkeys in the trees around us and kept trying to actually see them but never did.
The tour ended with an “optional” Tarzan Swing for anyone that wanted to try it. We of course did and waited in the line watching the others go before us. As it got closer to our turn, we realized that we might actually be nervous about this 300 foot drop that we were about to take. It looked SO HIGH from up there on that platform! Rease bravely said that she would go first and stepped up to the plate like a champ! They got her all hooked up and it was only a few seconds that she hung there before they let go and off she went! She was so cute and screamed in terror at first then quickly turned to a scream of accomplishment as she swung from that huge rope! Josh, Rhen and I followed and had similar reactions but mostly relief that we’d done it and survived! So proud of these girls and their adventurous side that takes them and gets them through all sorts of things.
