In the Jungle.. With Junglee's .. Galibore Fishing Camp - Day 2

Sorry!!! I couldnt complete this .. I Just got busy with my work .. :)

At around 6am we heard a person waking us up,to have Coffee.. Wasn't that cool.. But i didnt get get up as i have no habbit of drinking coffee or tea.. ha ha ha ha

Meanwhile i could hear some guys of our troop shouting , few of those guys planned for a Morning trek.. At around 7:30am myself and Minu got up... We got freshened,oh god we had to take bath in that cold water.. uuuhhhhh!!!

Breakfast was ready at 8:30am,idli sambar,Poori ssagu,Bread Omlete,Lime Juice,Tea or Coffee,pappaya,bannana.. oh,lots of things to eat.. :)

At around 10am we decided to go for Rafting.. This was arranged by Outback Adventours group...Wow,just couldnt imagine how enthu coud that be.. Had seen those just in movies or on Discovery ...

We filled up the indemnity bonds and put on the buoyancy jackets and helmets. There was a photo session. We had a briefing on the equipment and usage by one of the navigators.


Once we got into the water various commands and the responses were explained. We went in two rafts,8 of us in each and Vijeth and Rag's went on kayaking ..Vinod and Vinay was our lead rafts....It was fun all through. There was little bit of rafting, little bit of cheering, little bit of water splashing wars with the other rafts.. You will never feel tired! After 1km of rafting, they made us get into the water for swimming... I have no words to explain,how i enjoyed it... Superb... Me and Minu didnt know how to swim,and the guide thought us how to float on the water with the help of bouyancy jackets... After sometime,we somehow managed to float on water.. :) We had

After maneuvering through 3-4 small rapids, we came across a sharp turn.
Our guide gave us instructions on how to balance during higher grade rapids and we were all set for the last 3 rapids with last but one being the biggest among all the rapids on the strech.
Just before our last rapid,our guide asked us to get into the water.. Which was really deep.. He asked me to get down too.. Oh god,that was scary... After sometime,the guide pulled us back into the rafts... :) It was great fun... I'm Loving it!!! Tharth tha ra ra... :)

Last but one was really good. That might be a rapid close to grade 2? One more rapid and it was all over.:(
We had already reached Galibore and rafted for 8kms and for more than 2 hours!

We did some swirling of the raft like the one they do it on a coracle at the end.

We went back to our tents and took bath.. And again it was cold water.. :(

It was already 2 o clock,and lunch time.. I was really hungry!!! Had heavy lunch and did some chit chatting and slept for a while.. And it was time for us leave Galibore.. Bye bye!!!

We reached bangalore at around 7..

And my sweet hubby came to pick me up... :)
