Gibon Experience

Mi-e greu sa stiu de unde sa incep cu descrierea. Filmele de mai jos nu reusesc sa surprinda perspectiva. Pozele nici ele.

Hard to know where to start. The movies and photos below do not do justice to the experience. They can not recreate the perspective.

Timp de 2 zile jumatate am zburat deasupra junglei. Rapid, pe cabluri de otel bazaind deasupra noastra, la zeci de metrii inaltime, peste jungla deasa si un rau, de la un deal la altul. Momentul in care iesi cu viteza dintre copaci si te trezesti la 50 sau 100m inaltime deasupra junglei iti ingheata toate gandurile. A fost minunat si terifiant in acelasi timp – la fiecare zipline imi ingheta un nod in gat.

For two days we flew over the jungle. Fast, on steel cables buzzing over us, up at tens of meters, over the thick forest and a river. The moment you’re out of the foliage and realize you’re 50 or 100m up above the thick jungle your thoughts freeze. It was beautiful and terrifying – each zipline leaving you gasping for air in awe and fear.

Cand nu zburam deasupra junglei dormeam in case cocotate in copaci la 100 de metrii. Podele de stinghii prin care se vedea apa dusului cazand secunse bune pana la sol. Nici nu vreau sa imi aduc aminte de toaleta.

When we did not fly above the jungle we slept with in treehouses up 100m in a tree. I vividly remember looking at water form the shower dripped from the wooden planks floor and took a while to get down.
