A day of firsts, conquering fears and doing things I never thought I would do!!
I have a fear of caves, deep water, murky water, motorcycles, and doing dangerous things. Yet on this day I:
1. Rode on a motorcycle all the way up a mountain in Indonesia (my boyfriend was driving it)
2. Went cave tubing (sitting in a rubber tube guided through a pitch black cave)
3. SWAM in the cave!
4. Rode in the tray of a pick up truck
5. Rode all the way back down the mountain on a motorcycle
I'm so glad I did what I did because it really was so much fun!! We did all this with my friend Tennille and her partner Di. They are a bit more adventurous than me and were the ones who talked me into joining in. Here are some of the photos from the day :D

And this was us all linked up in our tubes ready for take off !

The following picture is of the fourth largest stalactite in the world! It is MASSIVE, I would love to see how big the largest is after seeing this! :D

And here we are riding in the back of a pick up truck!
I don't have any photos of me on a motorcycle because its on my boyfriends camera and his memory card doesn't fit in this laptop :( but I think my mum would rather not see me on a bike anyway haha
If anyone is going to Yogyakarta I highly recommend this but getting there might be a bit difficult for anyone who doesn't speak the language as we had to meet up with a man half way and follow him through the dirt roads to get there.
Next up -- day 8!

I could scream and yell about how stupid you are but i'm feeling sick at the thought of you riding around in the back of a ute with no helmet or seatbelt on a bumpy track!!!!!!!! I know people who are irrecoverably brain injured from doing this. Sighhhhh I'm glad you are getting out there and having some fun and adventure though. Stay safe. I love you.xxxx
ReplyDeletehahaha it was full of rubber tubes and we were going very slow, plus I think if I had to walk all the way back to the beginning with wet shoes, wet shorts, washed off suncream and carrying a big wet rubber tube, I would have been at more of a risk of being eaten alive, covered in friction rash and blisters and sunburn than i would have been riding the 3 mins in a slow moving truck that has done it a million times before. :P Plus it was good fun! :D
