The trees

Today i went to Mass. It was the town of the wood carvings. They had hundreds of wood carving shops with billions of wood carvings. However these carvings were so detailed, knowing that I was going to Mass was when I wanted to buy a small wood carving. These detailed carvings made it impossible to think of what I was looking for.

Then I visited a temple Ulun Danu. This Temple is on a lake and has three main towers. The first has 11 roofs the second one has 1 roof and the third furthest from shore has 3 roofs. This temple in each corner has a frog.

The third part of the day was the best. If you remember no the last day of Balleret then that is what I did. I did a ropes course. This ropes course had circuits which where in different levels. Your harness consisted of two carabiner, and on the zip line there are the wheels which where also attached to the harness. First we practiced on the demo course then we did the circuits. We did three over all orange, red, then because of the energy loss we did orange again. You had to have at least one carabiner hooked up the whole time. Back to the circuits, you never touch the ground so you go from tree to tree an between trees theres challenges or a zip line.

So for the orange circuit you first climb up a ladder. Then you attach one carabiner on the left and right cables an walk across on another cable bellow. Then you attach the carabiners the same way except that there are logs in a zig zag formation all the way across, there bolted together. One more thing if there's one piece of red tape it means one carabiner, if two red bands of tape it means two carabiners, but if there is a red, blue, red pattern of tape it means there's a carabiner, your zip line wheels, and then another carabiner. So then after the logs you put two carabiners son one cable and walk on one other cable bellow. Then you do a zip line to another tree. Then do another zip line to another tree. Finally you do a zip line to a thick net and you have to grab on. Then you un hook yourself except for one carabiner all the way to the ground.

Ok for the red circuit you started by climbing up a thick net. Then you have the one wire to hang on two and the one wire to walk on. Then you have to walk across 10 stirrups hanging on 6 feet of rope. Then you take a leap of fate by jumping of on a swing and grabbing on to another net. Then you had to climb up the net to 5 wires lined up like a ladder which you had to climb up. At that next tree platform you where about 50 feet high. From there you plummet into the trees on a zip line which you can't see the end of. From there you walk across two blue bars then a brown block. This happens every foot. This obstacle is about ten feet. The there where 25 planks that twisted if you were unbalanced. Each plank is about 2 feet. Then we stood on a skateboard type of a zip line, it twists and there's a white rope to hold on to. Then we did another zip line. There were two more obstacles in my way before we were finished. I was determined so then I crossed 10logs that weren't bolted together. After that I could relax for 500 feet on the longest zip line there in till I hit the rope.

I did the orange circuit again and had a total of 9 zip lines. It was the best ropes course ever. It was in the Botanic Garden so I looked around a little bit and went back to the hotel.

P.S. The wi fi is awful anywhere I go so it's a miracle when ever I can post anything.
