Today's blog is written by Haya;
Today was one the greatest experiences
any of us are going to ever have. We did a morning jog at first, where
we got to see more of the marvelous nature of Sri Lanka, and then we
did morning stretches and a couple of races as teams so that we'll
have to depend on each other to win. Afterward, we had a morning swim
in the river so that we could freshen up, and then we had a delicious
breakfast. We then split into two groups; one group went canyoning and
the other did some high-rope activities (Zip-lining and
crate-stacking.)
During canyoning, we first crossed the
river together. We then went to this amazing canyon, where we jumped
into the water, glided into it, and swam all the way back to camp. We
had a long hike on the way there, in which we passed through a Sri
Lankan village, with its extremely nice and friendly people. The
other group zip-lined over the river to the other side, and then had
to pass through the river on the way back.
The high rope activities were a lot of
fun, and they were challenging. In the crate-stacking activity, we
were tied to a rope, and then we had to stack crates above each other
without touching the floor or losing balance – it was hard. One of
our classmates broke the ACS-Borderland record in this activity, when
he stacked 15 crates above each other without dropping. The
zip-lining was great, because it was challenging but fun, no matter
how scared you might be.
We came back to the base camp
eventually, and then we had another swim and showered. We then ate
dinner and watched a slide show of the pictures taken on the past two
days, and then we played a game along with our teachers. We are
extremely excited for what is to come.
