Human RIghts Training Weekend

Human RIghts Training Weekend

Taylor on the weekend details


So this weekend was full of fun and exciting things... We went bungy jumping on Saturday from the Highest Bungy Jumping bridge in the world! We freefell for 5 seconds, it was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever done.  It actually feels like you are flying.  We stayed in a hostel overlooking the bay as well, which had an amazing view.  After bungy jumping we went to a place called monkey land where we saw a bunch of different types of monkeys, some even came right up to us, one grabbed my finger and the proceeded to scream its head off.  Another was hoping towards us and slapping the ground trying to scare us away.  After that we went to the elephant sanctuary where we walked hand in trunk with the elephants and got to feed and pet them.  For such big animals, they walk silently, the guide said this is because they walk on their tip toes.  Saturday was quite the day. Sunday we drove home and on the way stopped in Wilderness National Park where we rented canoes and paddled through a windy river surrounded by mountains to a nearby waterfall where we had lunch and spent a few hours.  It was a very relaxing and exciting weekend.
