My First Underwater Caving Adventure

Zip lining over the mangrove forrest was the only activity my entire family did.  We had to climb up a tall tower  where our instructor hooked us up to the line.  We had the choice of running off or just jumping off the edge of the tower.   I decided to run.  It was exhilerating flying over the trees.  You had to be careful on the landing not to injure yourself or the people on the next tower who help you stop.  The scariest thing with the zip line was the climb up the towers,.  Each of the three towers was taller than the last.  It was also the most physically demanding part for me.  I was a little winded getting to the top.  We were so high up in the air and the wooden towers looked so rickety.  You could fall off, if not careful, and kill yourself.

After lunch, we traveled to the ruins of Tulum.  It is an ancient city built on a cliff.  The ruins were fascinating.  You could kill yourself there too if not careful.  The bluffs were not fenced off so you could fall off into the ocean or jagged rocks below.  I didn't venture too far out onto the rock formations but some of my family did.  Also you had to watch out for iguanas that had the run of the place.  My youngest daughter ventured into a small building to be surprised by a large iguana when she turned around.      

By the end of the day I was beat.  I enjoyed my dinner at our resort and retired early that night.  It was well worth it.  I would definately do it again.
