Day 2 - Dec. 28 2012
As early as 6am, we went out to see what we can do around. They said, we should try the Zipline at the Seven Falls of Lake Sebu.
It feels so good enjoying and being with the nature... A great experience indeed..
After seeing those greeny surroundings and mountains, our next adventure was the Seven Falls.
First stop... At Falls No. 1.
Next to Zipline station. We were so excited to try this... Unfortunately, it was still closed at that time...We waited 45 minutes ....It's open at 8am.
As we waited, our excitement turns to Fear.. We became too nervous..seeing the starting point to landing point...Too scary, ha....... I hate to admit it but, I was afraid and hesitated to go through. I was shivering while waiting for our turn.
But I said to myself, I need to do this for me to conquer the heights and to have a great experience... I will face my fear... So GO!
And so, we were flying like a bird..The first few meters, ahh...so scary ....but, as you passes by, you will feel good as you enjoy the scenery below. (you will find the Falls no. 5)
It was a thrilling and a breathtaking adventure, a great experience and I made it Whew! The longest and highest Zipline I had ever tried.
This Zipline is the longest and highest in Asia. It's a 700 meters long and with the height of 600 feet.
On our way to 2nd Zipline going to the exit point.
This time, no more fear.... Kayang kaya... Sisiw...
This a 400 meters long ride going to exit point and you will see below the Falls no. 2.
Proud to wear this shirt after that scary adventure... Naks Yabang!
We went back to our resort for lunch and to prepare for our departure back to Gen. Santos City.
