    After a so called rest day yesterday, it was back to us having an adventure/ adrenaline day (this was all Mhari's doing).

    Luckily we managed to watch the boxing this morning, all of the 1 and a half minute it lasted, but we were successful, so it was a good start to the day!

    A 10.45am pick up time for the first activity.....Shot over Red Jet- the most exciting jet ride in the world apparently. This did not disappoint, 90km/h through the gorge doing 360 spins and close call crashes to the side of the big boulders was great fun!

    Next, unfortunately for my sake, it was time for the next pick up, the Shot over Canyon Swing! Once, we were all weighed, checked in and signed our lives away, it was time to choose the way we did the jump.

    Luckily, this decision wasn't a hard one to agree on, we both chose the chainsaw dismantle from 109m high. Although, this really wasn't my idea and I was regretting my decision to go along with it, it actually was great fun in the end (yes I know my face doesn't look like it, but it was).

    After a nice spot for lunch and a little bit of shopping, we walked back to the camp site and had a nice chilled evening in the van. We're back on the road tomorrow!
