THE GIBBON EXPERIENCE
AMAZING!!!! Wow seriously the coolest thing I have ever done! If you don't know what I'm talking about the Gibbon Experience is a trek in Laos that helps preserve there forrest and save the endangered Gibbons but more importantly its so much fun haha
There are zip lines set up from tree to tree up to 1km long and 100 metres high and you have a harness on and literally zip thro the jungle.. the first time was crazy as i have already said Laos is so laid back and well our guide just zipped off leaving us to figure it out haha which i loved all thegirls were like "omg he didnt even check our harness what if something goes wrong" and i was like yewww catch you later" haha.. AMAZING! We had such a cool group as well there were 6 girls and a 40 year old guy from Singapore named ALBERT hahaha he was such good entertainment.. he took photos of absolutely everything.. does he not realise he is from asia and in asia??? It was hard work tho we trekked for about 4 hours a day most of it was uphill and there were leeches everywhere.. why were leeches created?? Worst invention ever! Every step we had to dodge leeches.. they got in our shoes.. our socks.. everything!!! And they hurt when you pull them off ahhh. On the last morning we woke up at 5am to go trekking and the leeches were blood hungry it was crazy they were evil instead of dodging 1 every step there were about 5.. not happy Jan.. But every time we got to a zip line it was so worth it!!! Oh I forgot to mention we slept in tree houses which was so cool!!! We were about 100 metres high in a huge tree in the middle of nowhere and the only way to get there is to zip haha we spent a whole afternoon zipping in and out of the tree house it seriously never got old! There were rats in the tree houses at night.. how they get up there i do not know but we all had our shoes and socks out to dry.. i had two pairs of socks and in the morning one of my socks was in the toilet and the rest gone.. they didnt touch anyone elses stuff so im pressuming my feet smell extra nice haha
So to sum it up it was the coolest thing I have ever done.. food was good.. trek was good.. zip lining was awesome! Thanks mum and nanna best birthday present ever!!!
LAOS=BEST COUNTRY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
