One of the BEST Parts of the Trip!!
Tuesday morning, we arrived in beautiful St. Kitts! We had some room-service-breakfast on our balcony before we headed off the boat to wait for our Zip lining excursion. While we were waiting, we had to sign our lives away, as well as jump on a freaking scale to see just how much weight we’d already gained three days into our vacation. Nice, huh?
Once we got up the hill we had some time to kill before it was our turn to start zipping. This area was so gorgeous and we had a good time walking around and exploring. This place used to be a sugar mill as well as rum distillery. Sadly, there was no rum to try! Or sugar, for that matter.
We walked on back and got our gear on. This is the part where a technician helps each person into their harness and helmet individually to insure safety, right? Wrong! It was up to us to get in and tightened and strapped. Guess that’s why we signed those waivers!
And now for the real fun!!! This is Trent and Anna on the practice line:

This video is terrible quality, but I’m trying to capture this plant. Once the plant is touched (like Chris is demonstrating), the leaves on the plant close. These were planted around plantations and were used to deter slaves from leaving the grounds. Think barbed wire, but no immediate pain.
