White Water Rafting Adventure.

After driving for 2 hours, we were so glad tobe there. It was an OK drive. The scenes were great. As you can see, we are having lunch. They told us that the rafting trip will be 11 miles long and will probably take 5 hours, so we stuffed ourselves with food we prepared the night before.Chito, Lister, Rhaida, Christian, Alfred, Zenaida, Carlo (That's me) and Joe were the paticipants of this trip. I think we look like "Navy Seals". Don't you think?After lunch and preparing ourselves for the actual trip, we were transported to a different site. A school bus took us to the main site. It was a 2 hours ride. When we got there, We were briefed regarding the actual rafting adventure. The briefing was about the safety and trips in case something happens. Then we were asked to pick our life vest and oars for us to use. So the adventure began. We were excited. The weather was cooperating at that time. Continued to paddle and behold, a little island appeared. We dicided to stop by and take some pictures. We defied the instruction given to us. We were advised not to stop to any islands or whatsoever. Because of our rebel nature, we went for it. We posed for a picture/s and goofed around. The scenery was so amazing.The water was cold and dirty but we didnt care. We went and took a dip. The water current was OK. It was not very strong but enough to take you to the other side of the world. People were looking at us like we were crazy but we were just having fun....After about 30 min., we went on with the trip........We paddled and paddled then all of a sudden, white waters! It was rough but not as much as I expected. I wanted the really rough waves. The one that you really have to hang on for your life. Anyway, we just made the best out of what was available. Once again we were goofing around. We had pails on each raft and we were splashing water to each other. (Remind you the water was cold.) After doing all those fun things we went on with the trip. 7 miles more to go....... Again, we paddled and paddled.... we were getting tired and hot. We tried to stopping under the bridge to buy food but with no avail. So we continued with the trip. We were decided to connect the two raft with a rope. We chatted and conplained about the lenght of the river. At this time only 2 were paddled. Finally, we could see the end of the trail from where we were. Everybody was relieved. Got off and surrendered the rented stuff. It was a great adventure. I wont mind doing it again. You should try it with your friends.................
