River Rafting!!!!!

This is way overdue. Went river rafting last september 19.

It was a sunny sunday morning and I was late for the supposedly 9am meet in front of mcdo. Tinatamad kasi akong gumising kasi sunday, buti na lang talaga at tumuloy ako.

I arrived at the meeting place 9:15, since i was the only one they were waiting for, nakakahiya. Cristalle was already there with her boyfriend and someone whom they just met. So, we boarded a jeep and went off to fetch jerry, steph, ninin and angie.

We arrived at the starting point of the trip. We were given a briefing by one of the guides. According to the guide the whole trip would be around 3 hours with 3 stopovers and 14(i think) rapids. After the briefing, we were told to board a raft. There were four rafts, I was in the raft with jerry, ninin, steph, tobey and angie.
So there we were in the raft with our guide, rupert, who happened to be GMA's guide in her white water rafting picture for wow philippines.

Hindi pa daw malakas yung unang rapid na dinaanan namin, pero ang saya na, paano pa kaya yung iba! SO after ilang rapids, dumating kami dun sa first stop. Isang hanging bridge, kung saan tatalon kami into the water. Buti na lang hinde ako nag-iisa na hinde tumalon... Pero, if ever na maulit akong mag white water rafting dito tatalon na ako. So ayun, tumuloy na kami to sa pag rrafting, at meron yung point na pinatayo kaming mag row habang nasa rapids(buti na lang nde ako nahulog...). Binigyan din kami ng chance na umalis sa raft at magpaagos sa river, me being afraid of the water(after that snorkeling incident sa puerto galera, takot na akong pumunta sa tubig na malalim), nde ako nagpaagos.

DUmating kami sa aming 2nd stop, kung saan nag lunch kami. Lunch namin was chocolates, bread and peanut butter(na dala ni cristalle) at ng bread stix na dala nila steph. So after ng lunch balik na kami sa aming trip along the river. Umabot na kami sa aming 3rd stop, where we went to this cave and crossed a rapid on foot.

So natapos namin ang aming white water rafting, around 2:30pm. By that time si tobey nagmamadali na dahil may flight sya back to manila ng 3.

The whole thing was fun, kahit sa isang taong takot sa tubig. Babalikan ko ulit yun, some other time.
