I can’t explain to you how sore my body is this morning!!  We went zip-lining at this cool park here in Singapore.   We did this on our honeymoon so I thought I was prepared, but I was definitely wrong!  This was more of an obstacle course with a few zip-lines in the mix.  We climbed rope ladders and jumped into rope “cobwebs” that we had to climb back up to the platforms.  All was going well until we could choose a more difficult route, and Ryan and I thought we were doing ok, so we went the harder way.  This will now be described at my “Near Death  Experience”.  Thank goodness there’s no video of me trying to do this, but I did take a picture of it after we had gotten back down.  It didn’t look that hard, but I’m sure it was something that should have been a challenge on Survivor or Amazing Race.

Does this look hard to you?  We’re attached to a line that runs through the middle but we had to “jump” from bar to bar – but the bars were tilted…it was just ridiculous:

I have no shame in posting these videos.  The first one is of Ryan as he does the last zip-line and I’m on the platform behind him waving.  The really hard part was that you couldn’t control if you came into the landing straight!  If you didn’t, you just came in backwards and crashed into the sand.  We weren’t very good at coming in straight…

Now, here’s the really tough one to watch. But it also explains why my whole body hurts this morning! There wasn’t much sandpit to land in, and I was going so fast that it yanks me in the other direction when I got to the end. Not pleasant!

We ended our day at Little India with some awesome Indian food (my first) and then walked around the shops. There were literally thousands of Indian people, it was packed on a Saturday night! I didn’t take too many pictures, if I had stopped for a second I would have been swept away!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday night! Can’t wait to get home and see New Moon, it doesn’t come out here until December 3!
