I have found my new favorite sport and you can only do it in Switzerland! okay so maybe you can do it in other countries but i bet it would not be nearly as beautiful, exciting, breath taking, and all around as BA as it is in Switzerland. What is this sport she is talking about you may be wondering...Canyoning!!
Take zip linning, repeling, jumping into practically zero degree Celsius water, and using rocks a water slides! and you have the intermediate version of this awesomly amazing sport!
Now some may wonder what this is a picture of and how did i get this. Its my left hand after doing a kart wheel while repeling. The guide said it was the best one he had ever seen! The gear we wore included swim suit of some sort, a wet suit overalls with long legs and sleeve less, a wet suit jumper with long sleeves and shorts, a life vest, neopreen socks and shoes, a neopreen hat, and finally a helmet. On the helmets we each had a name that we did not get to choose. I was ever-so-fittingly named "Hippo." "Lady Boy" was Coral. "Lala" was Nicole, and Brittney and Caitlyn had ones with T names that i had never heard before that were pretty fun! After determining that sky diving was too expensive we go the DL (down low) on this amazing sport and decided to make sure it was safe enough for our fellow travellers who should give it a try when they go to Switzerland.
If I had to describe the scenery of Switzerland in one word it would be ...... well I wouldn`t be able to describe it in one word! There are mountains with and without snow all around you and in all sorts of shapes. waterfalls spewing out of thier sides and streams from the melting glaciers making paths down the mountains. lakes that are the color of a pale blue-green. Its absolutely one of the prettiest and most relaxing places I have ever been!
Missing Switzerland Already,
