βNext came the dayβs highlight. I wonβt spoil the surprise, but expect to be amazed, shocked, awed and holding on for dear life all at the same time. Just think of a zipline too long to see to the end and towering so far above the canopy that the jungle floor is hidden beneath it. It was exhilarating and I was sold. So this is what all the fuss is about!β
βThe second line, I was told was 300 metres long. Ahead of me, a group of Taiwanese tourists were unharnessing on the other side and it was our turn. One, two, three, I am pushed off the edge of the platform before I can shout stop. The zipline droops and I pick up speed. The floor disappears from beneath me and I am left dangling on what feels like spidery thin wire some four or five stories high.β
βI get up to the canopy and here goes nothing! Iβm a bit nervous but excited at the same time! No one has ever plunged to their death ziplining before, right? The view was incredible and I was telling myself to keep my eyes open and remember the proper technique and when to brake to not get stuck somewhere in the middle. So there I go. I was moving through the jungle at a good clip; the view was amazing, and I hit the brakes at the perfect time. I was now experiencing the jungle on a Costa Rica zip line.β
