    Flying for the Gibbons

    Laos

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Laos

    These two very small piglets were so inquisitive yet so scared! Barely a few weeks old, they would run towards us and then hide in the bushes. These piglets were at the start of the village, which meant the end of our trek and then end of our three day unbelievable zipline experience. An adventure one will never forget. by: jodyslens Views[234] We came across this farmer and his wife on our way back to the village on our final day. They both hike several hours every day to sell drinks to the ten or so travellers who cross this path. While she was selling the drinks, we watched him gather wood, use his knife to take the bark off and make it smooth, then begin to place it together to fix his gate which had been broken. He worked so effortlessly and quietly, we all sat in silence watching him. by: jodyslens Views[255] This beautiful little girl so badly wanted to get her photo taken. She was torn between looking after her little brother who was crying and wanting to pose for the camera. In so many remote villages like this one we came across hiking between ziplines, children are responsible for their younger siblings at such a young age. This little girl wouldn't have been any older than 8 or 9, yet with the responsibilities of an adult. by: jodyslens Views[254] The treehouse we called home on our second night. 300m above ground, only accessible via zipline and so high it sways in the wind! For one night it was home to six weary travellers and possibly over one hundred gigantic spiders. You can't explain how you feel to sleep above the highest canopy if the jungle and wake up to mother nature and all it has to offer! by: jodyslens Views[222] One of the most exhilarating experiences you can have. The Gibbon Experence in Laos. After a 5 minute demonstration, you find yourself ziplining 500m between valleys and hundreds of metres above ground - with the most basic of breaking systems.. an old bike tire placed on the line which you apply pressure to slow yourself down - pure adrenaline! This picture is of our guide zipping in to deliver us our morning coffee to our treehouse! by: jodyslens Views[223]
