Muscles aching day. Hahaha. A day after our hike, today we will be going for Padas White Water Rafting. It is a class 3-4 water rafting and I am very excited about it. We started our journey at 7.30am, and it takes us 2 hours to get to a stop for some food. Then we continue our journey to a place, where we wore the safety helmet plus the life jacket. We were than seated on a piece of square wood, and 3-4 people can be seated on it. It is then put on the train railway and we will be pushed by the men using a stick, just like how we operate a skateboard. After we were all seated in a row on the railway, all of a sudden the men told us to get up. I wasn’t sure why at that point of time, but it was because the train is coming towards us. That was a very hilarious moment as I can see the train, which is moving pretty slowly coming from behind. The men then moved away all the wooden seats and allow the train to move on first. We then seated on the wood again and two men stand on our wood, one leg on the floor, another leg on our seat, and with a stick, they push us like pushing cart. It was a new experience for me. I did enjoy it, but the trip is 45 minutes and my butt was kinda hurt at the end of the trip.

We were brought to a station where we were briefed about water rafting, and the safety steps to take consideration into. And now we are all ready to rock and roll! All I can say is water rafting is seriously fun. It’s a must try =D
Water Rafting = Fun, fun, fun!!
Look at the obstacles! Luckily we have an experienced guide behind us who helped us to navigate our way through.

This last image below is taken where the area of the water is calm and we are heading to the ending point. What an interesting day!!
Water Rafting
In the first picture, the boat looks nearly to capsize… very adventurous game! Your camera is water proof? I didn’t try it during my trip to Mount Kinabalu last year, wasted…
These photos were taken by the guide there
But we have to pay to get these photos.
Was a very fun experience. Do try it next time!!
