Not your average travellers

London is overwhelming. It's huge, it's busy, and it's EXPENSIVE. £2.50 for a single scoop ice cream cone that makes Coombs look like they're serving you the whole bucket. Today we took the tube to and from our adventure, and it cost £35! That's $70, give or take!

But what a heck.  What's sometimes harder is meeting everyone's needs and interests. Some of us are more in favour of hands-on action, while others are happy to poke along and look at everything. You can guess who fits into what category.

Our destination: Go Ape Treetop Adventure Park!  It's a variation on Laggan Outdoor. We got to be monkeys. 

You wear a harness and follow a huge rope course, complete with zip lines and crazy daredevil stunts. Total Tarzan!

It's way harder than it looks. 

Scott's coming in really fast, but you can't tell from the picture. 

Badge of honour. 

It was a sweaty, intense afternoon (it took us about 2.5 hours to do the whole course), and well worth it. None of us are afraid of heights anymore, and we know our way around a carabiner.
