Hello my loyal subjects! Miss me yet?

Today, we had the longest sleep in ever during last two weeks. We woke up about 8:30 am today (yes that is really late for us!). Like as typical pattern, we ate free hotel breakfast and left the hotel about 30-45 minutes later. We drove about hour to one place named Cape Canopy. That place has a zip line tour. That place has 11 different zip lines and one suspension bridge! We got in zip line gear and rode the truck about 30 minutes to zip line. The whole 30 minutes of ride was so bumpy that we have to hold something to stay intact! We finally arrived the first zip line, we were so excited to start the zip line tour! Most of us never have experienced zip line tour!

Precious bravely suppressed her fear for heights right after she completed her first zip line! We had so much fun after the first zip line and we realized that we have other 10 zip lines to go! We were so thrilled! During zip line tour, we saw a beautiful waterfall! We were amazed from the beauty view of mountains and valleys. Right after our fourth zip line, we reached the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge was so shaky that made us worry and kept grabbing our safety rope. Then Nevan decided to be a showoff, he bragged and walked across the bridge with his hands in air. Our tour saw that and he decided to stomp the bridge right before Nevan completely crossed the bridge! Tour's stomp caused the bridge so shaky that caused Nevan to trip himself! We laughed so hard by Nevan' fall! So funny! As when we going to ride our fifth zip line of the tour, our guide decided to amaze us with a flip and guess what? His GoPro fell off! We slowly watched his Go Pro fell off from the tour's pocket! Oh boy, our tour was so depressed about it! Then the rest of tour, anything went perfectly. We were disappointed when we reached to the last zip line of the tour! At least the last zip line is the longest zip line of all 11 zip lines. The zip line was 330 m long! It took us about good 30-40 seconds each of us to complete the zip line!

After that, we hiked about 1 km to the top of hill to reach our tour's truck. Oh boy, we were exhausted from long hike! The ride back to entrance is also very bumpy! After that, we went back to hotel and went to mall to eat our dinner. We went back to hotel in rush so we can play our traditional game, Lipreading game! Wilmonda and Jennifer made 40 different words and spilt us into two teams. First game, first team was made of Nevan, Jack, and Tarique. Second team was made of Jakyia, Precious, Taran, and Kaci. Second team totally crushed first team with a blowout score of 10-4! Then Jennifer decided to make new teams. New team, first team was made of Jack, Jakyia, Nevan, and Precious. Second team made of Tarique, Kaci, and Taran. This time we had better competition between both teams. The score was 11-13 as right before final round! Wilmonda decided to speak for second team while Jennifer speak for first team. Sadly, second team won the game! (I am in first team) In overall, we had so much fun adventuring in mountains of South Africa and a very competitive game of lip reading today!

Peace out Subjects,

Jack
