Our first outing was a big one, mud baths, natural volcano sauna, horseback riding and zip lining through the jungle. This was a packaged deal through a mountain resort in Costa Rica. It was about a 1 1/2 hour drive to this mountain resort from our villa. The mud bath was interesting, refreshing... something I've never done before. We washed off in a natural hot spring. Then we continued to the natural volcano sauna. The heat that came in was unbelievably hot and smelled strongly of sulfur. After all of this we changed into our regular clothing and had an outstanding lunch which was made from all the resources right at this resort, no supermarkets needed. Needless to say, it was probably the best meal I've ever had. Finally the grand finale... we horseback rode to the top of the zip line route. Horses were fun, I could tell mine had been up the hill a few times that day, but I did manage to get him up to a gallop for a while. Made me miss having one of my own to ride. Then once we were at the top my panic set in... I was the only one who wasn't nervous about it... until this point. Once I got past the first one my adrenaline set in and I was okay, but I was super nervous about my 3 year old though, panic set in and then never left. If she could have been in my arms the whole time I would have been okay, but she had to leave me to get across with one of the workers. This was too hard for me... then at times she was at the other end for a while waiting for a worker to come along to ride with her... panic... finally the guy took her and I down to the bottom (Ahead of the group) near the last few lines... he had to get back to print the pics he took of us. I was relieved. All and all great fun, but the least nervous one (me) had the most trouble...lol
Here is Charlotte, she looks a little stressed doesn't she? She was... hard for her mommy to watch.
