OSC Day 2 - Abseiling Adventure!!

Today the blog was written by Kalila and Shenali:



"Today, we completed our abseiling adventure. It started with a bumpy, thrilling truck ride up to the foot of the Sandun Ella. Our abseil descent could not commence until our sweaty hike to the top of the waterfall - which was steep and strenuous - was done. Once we got to the top, drenched in sweat, we were able to start our adventure.




There were a mix of emotions all around - exhilaration, fear and tension. Attached to our carabineers and figure-8s, we put aside our natural instincts and walked backwards over a cliff of an 80-foot waterfall at a 90-degree angle. Our descent finished with a relieving plunge into a deep pool of water at the base - where we could all look up and smile with a sense of accomplishment.




Afterwards, we devoured our picnic lunch on a beautiful rock face overlooking the beauty of our paradise island. Our adventure ended with a dip in a crystal-clear, natural pool; filling us with serenity and flooding us with refreshment. We returned to camp exhausted, yet thoroughly pleased with the day's outcome."



Congratulations on finishing a difficult day, get some rest for another fun day tomorrow!
