We reached Tyrol pretty early in the day and it was important as we were all gonna engage in some really exciting activities which need daylight.
The accomodation we arrived at was really cosy and the feeling made all feel at ease as it was totally surronded by serene nature. Warning of bedbug issues prior to arrival was overhyped and all was fine in the rooms.
As time was of the essence today, we wasted no time in checking into the rooms and got ready for our next activity. This time round everyone has got a choice to do whatever they want but some activities comes with a really big price tag.
Some of the activities available are Tandem Skydiving (which costs a bomb), Tandem Paragliding, mountain biking and canyoning.Canyoning seems to be the more popular choice as it was both relatively inexpensinve and interesting. The rest went for the other choices.
And so we were all dispatched to different areas depending on what we chose to do, in taxis. We reached the holding area for canyoning and had a short briefing. We were then fitted into diving suits and boots and then driven to the starting point. It involves going up a waterfall and then through the waterfall and down it. The water was freezing and that is no understatement. We were told it was about 2 degrees celsius. I had to keep myself moving about to try to withstand the cold. The diving suit could only help so much.
But it was all worth it as the canyoning journey was nothing short of thrilling! We repelled down vertical cliffs, jumped off from heights and climbed rocks. Every moment was actually risky but no one backed down. It was great! The moment of the day was probably the jump from 7meters into a ice cold pool of water, and it was called the "f*** Fall"!
After the thrilling experience, we were sent back to the holding area to wash up in nice hot showers. The taxis then sent us back to the hotel. After everyone came back, we had a group photo with the amazing backdrop as our background. That was followed by a BBQ dinner which was just delicious! Eveyone had a complimentary shot as well. Everyone just lazed around and chatted away their experience and everything else.
Back in the rooms later in the night, we got a few mates together to have another round of drinks. It was simple a nice place to just bond with one another. It is definitely a different experience from being in a city.
