I went rafting on the Telaga Waja river in Bali this week, 14 km of non-stop rapids. Despite being only grade 2 rapids, it was something I didn't want to miss out on. Carin, Darren and Geralyn, who I went to Bali with, didn't want to do it, so this was my solo adventure.
Things I will remember about rafting on the Telaga Waja:
- Debbie and Lisa: Two Taiwanese girls who I shared a raft with and who shrieked with pleasure and fear the whole time.
- "Bom bom!": The guide, Nixo, screamed this every time we hit a rock or the side of the gorge which happened all the time.
- Waterfalls everywhere: I must've seen more than 100 waterfalls on that stretch of river a lot of which fell directly into the water (see the waterfall behind me and Nixo).
- A white water rafting highway: I have never seen so many rafts on one river at the same time.
- Drinking water out of palm leaf cups and eating "home made cake" aka deep fried banana.
- Impossibly tall trees
- Feeling so happy being back on a raft again after so many years.
