Welcome Back Elizabeth Moir! Day 1

Good evening - I write this from a rain-drenched Kithulgala. At times it feels as if it has been raining 40 days and 40 nights here, but today there was a window of dry weather just in time for the arrival of 40 students from the Elizabeth Moir School in Colombo. It meant that we could confidently run the white water rafting, since the river level has dropped quite considerably from the flooding status earlier this week, and the canyon was nice and high.



The day had plenty of action, adventure and some students overcoming quite major fears of water, a common phobia we encounter at Borderlands.

A flip on Killer Falls sent some of the students for a brief swim, but a clean rescue meant that no one suffered unduly and as we continued down the thrill levels were pretty high.



All the kids made it through the day in one piece, both on the rafting and the canyoning. Here are a selection of photos from the day to whet your appetite:
