Greg, Jim, Addi and I went zip-cording through the northern Thailand jungle today. 4 hours, 34 platforms, 4 repels, 2 canopy walks. Elevations up to 1000 meters above the canopy floor and zip lines up to 300 meters long.
It was tremendous fun and very safe. The guides loved their jobs which made it even more exceptional.
As soon as Addi heard about zip-cording she was begging to do it. She rode tandem with a guide on the long or fast zips, with one of us on the slower ones...and solo on some of the slower and shorter ones!! She was amazing. My fearless adrenaline junkie started doing tricks....flying like a bird, soaring like Supergirl, hamming it up my pretending to fall asleep (I'm not kidding!) It was a hoot. I asked her if she felt afraid before taking the plunge and she said "no, mommy- but I felt good!!" ....so...She never felt fear (which makes me feel a little bit of fear!)
Then first video is a tandem zip Jim and I did together. The second is one of Addi's 15-or-so solo runs. In this instance, she is flying like a bird.
