Cowabunga!

(October 5, 2017)

…was probably the last word in my mind as I struggle to express the unholy mix of sheer excitement and overwhelming horror while I ‘fly’ down across Skyranch Tagaytay’s zipline. A surrendering ‘fuuuck…’ is all I could utter as I behold the majestic view of Taal Lake, Tagaytay and Batangas; and at the same time, horrified by how far deep I’m gonna fall to my demise if anything screws up. No nets, nor a vast body of water underneath were present to break my fall in case of an accident. Only the consolation of a guaranteed swift death in such an event.

Still, such a perilous predicament shan’t faze me from getting my PhP500’s worth of adrenaline rush (PhP880 if we’ll include the PhP300 worth of bills and the S$2 money clip that I lost during the ride) and get this item scratched off my bucket list. I must say, the 300-meter long 2-way ride was worth every peso. I enjoyed every inch of it (except for part where you’ll need to climb three storeys worth of stairs). It was truly an exhilarating experience, but something I probably wouldn’t do again any time soon. It’s just not the kind of ‘rush’ I’m into – I’d rather rappel or climb, and not entrust my life on such a small contraption tasked to endure the stress and velocity of hauling 92 kilos of flesh across 300 meters of cabling. I’ve had my fill, I’m good.

On the next adventure!
