Today really summed up the Costa Rican idea of "Pura Vida!" We have spent the day swinging through the jungle on zip wires above trees and clouds!

The day started when we were picked up at 7.30 in the morning for a two hour drive to San Lorenz. We drove up the mountain to a wooden hut were we were fitted for our very attractive harnesses complete with builders helmet! I wish i could get the photos on this website because we have a million and one photos of how great we looked!

We were then taken through a series of canopys which we had to zip wire between one after another reaching immense speeds as we passed through the trees.

Then as a added bonus we got to have a go on something called "The Tarzan Swing" The we a long wire rope that swung over a canyon. We were buckled in at the waist and hauled up a ramp by two Costa Ricans and then let go to swing into the abyss of leaves and trees. It was such a rush of adrenalin to go hurtling out over the canyon and swing back!

After this our final challenge was a 750m zip wire above trees and clouds into a black hole! Standing on top of the man made tower and looking out across the rainforest, in the pouring rain might i add, I noticed just how high we were but before I had a chance to think I was strapped in and flying down the wire with no end in sight!

We have so many videos and pictures from today and I'm desperately trying to get them up!
