2012-10-03 - Day 4 - Daddy's Birthday In The Trees

Daddy had no idea! It was so funny! This is going to be just the best birthday surprise ever!

(Daddy) A lot of clues pointed to us going for an elephant trek in the jungle...how wrong I was...Got my presents first thing - so many games! Go Fish, Travel Scrabble, Scattergories and chocolate!


Great buffet breakfast with mango! Lovely, perfect for Daddy's birthday! We then left at 8.30 by taxi for 1.5 hour drive to our mystery activity - Treetop Climbing! And not just any old tree top climbing!

Jimmy was our guide, and he build the whole course which had 4 different levels. Green, Yellow, Blue, Red. We all went on the training course to start with, and realised we were responsible for our own safety with just two safety clips - we had to make sure we clipped and unclipped one at a time.

Roxy and Mummy managed the Green and Blue. Roxy was so brave, and Mummy got a little scared on the Blue. Daddy and I went on the Yellow, which had the biggest zip line ever - must have been almost 75m between 2 trees! It was so fun. On the Red, we were so high, AND there was an ants nest. We could hardly see the forest floor we were so high. Daddy got a little scared on the tight rope, and we also did a double zip line which was so funny! What an amazing view!

We did tight ropes, rode bikes, went on a surf board, ladders, trapezes, zip lines - so many activities, it was so clever!

We had rice for lunch, and then did more. It even rained a few times which we were on the courses - amazing.

Daddy absolutely loved it - said it was the best birthday ever!

Massive downpour on way home, got a bit cold and wet, but we still went in the pool and played Marco Polo and did press to handstands.


Went shopping, and got our bracelets, som PJs / T-Shirts for Daddy. Daddy got scared by a monkey's hand! That was so funny! Great bargains, and found a hole in one shirt and Daddy caused a fuss with the owner - funny!

Pizza and Desert, and played Go Fish which we had our ice creams and spotted frogs at the desert place.

Tut-tut home - green, so funny. Took us to wrong hotel - oh Moomis!

TV night! Yeah, what a day!

(Daddy) Thanks guys! The best birthday ever!
