Antigua IV - Activities....

Okay...so we did get out a couple of the days we were there and did try a few different activities....


Water trikes....really just a lot of work...for getting no where....



One day we ventured off the resort to a Zip line canopy tour.....I was feeling pretty confident...until I "zipped" across my first line....pretty much OUT OF CONTROL....and then realized I had 8 more lines to go....


Patiently waiting our turn....all the picture are of "others"...we couldn't take our cameras with us...they say for "insurance purposes"...but really I think it's because they wanted you to buy their photos of us screaming....


Thankfully every tree was "padded" so I as I came barreling in at a good 50 mph I only really knocked the "tour guide" into the already "padded" tree. What they failed to mention to us....after the 9 zip lines...is that we had a high ropes challenge course to make our way through before the "tour" was actually over.....good grief....that is not what I signed up for!


"Snorkeling"....umm...not my favorite.....thankfully I didn't get "sea sick".....but I jumped in the water and immediately panicked...I am not sure if it was the mouth full of salt water I took in, the yucky "non fog"...fluid I swallowed that was for some reason in my goggles and mouth piece or the life vest that may or may not have been inflated too much and was instantly up over my head....needless to say I lasted all of 50 seconds....saw not a single fish....but took some lovely pictures from the boat!






Yup...pretty sure this had to have been the most "strenuous" activity of the week!!
