St. Maartin

About 3 weeks ago I was in St. Maartin, and went to a place called Loterie Farms. They have 3 ziplining courses, but it's not exactly ziplining. It's like an obstacle course with ziplining incorporated into it. The main course is just the average one, usually the one to start with. Then there is also a kid course and an extreme course, that you have to be at least 18 to go on. I wanted to go on that one, but I'm not old enough yet... Maybe next time. :)

This is us getting ready. My sister is in the purple shirt, I'm next to her and then my mom is turned away. The guy right there is someone who works there, he was helping us get our harness on and giving us a little orientation. There is a pulley and 2 safety clips. You must have one clip on a steel cord at all times, in case you slip and fall.
This is my mom and I on a platform. My mom was so scared. Me and my sister were shaking the wire as she was walking across the cords and stuff. It was hysterical because she would totally flip out!

  
Jumping:)
At the end of the course there were 2 long ziplines. I went upside down on the very last one. It was alot of fun! I would love to go again, and plan on doing the extreme course when I'm old enough. :)

Another fun thing to do while on St. Maartin is go to the Sunset Beach Bar. It is right behind the airport, and the planes come in and out and you can get blown away from all the planes! It's awesome. :)
