We spent an action packed day, mainly doing water activities on the Mae Taeng river – white water rafting and bamboo rafting…..and what the kids got most enjoyment out of, was a natural slide on a waterfall at Huay Satan!
They even cajoled myself and Daniel to go down it. Yikes! I don’t particularly like heights or going over edges.
Daredevil Ilona went down about 5 times…..and even showed some French girls what to do, and how to approach the “drop”.
The rocks were slippery and formed a perfect water slide. Ilona and Tadhg relished in bathing in the natural pools.
I also overcame another fear of heights, by doing a zip line across the river…..well I wouldn’t have done it only the guy running the show pushed me off on my merry way…..after a little procrastination!
Bamboo rafting was a little more relaxing, and less strenuous than the white water rafting…..which was a very low grade of rapid (which was good as health and safety precautions is not a scratch on NZ standards), and given we had the two kids with us, I was glad we weren’t dicing with higher grades.
