Spending my time with friends
I am trying to spend more time with my friends, since I spend so much of my life in my work already. And friends&family should definitely stand higher than work.
Anyway, Jane's husband had birthday, so she decided to give him as a present a short stay in lanoland (land of ropes). Yep, it's one of those resorts where you climb very high in order to defy gravitation and various obstacles built there....
Right after I climbed up, I realized that my fear of heights might be a problema and it isn't going to disappear just because I wish so. Usually, I am quite able at conquering my fears and even my fear of heights, but this wasn't one of those times. Out of four people I was the one afraid the most. I think our guide in the park hated me from get go, just because I was so difficult.
I realized right away, that this was (not) going to be fun.
My expression speaks volumes, I think :)). And this was not the only occasion you could catch it expression on my face. :P
Apart from being afraid of walking on the tight ropes, I was also afraid of even standing on the wooden platforms. To people looking at us from the ground, I might a have appeared like a true nature-loving tree-hugger.
Immediately after I set foot on the ropes, the rope underneath me started to tremble uncontrollably, just like my knees. I guess the onlookers realized I don't love nature that much, I am just very, very scared :))
My face is not visible in this one, but the loose set of shoulders betrays my cool posture.
Just like my vice-like grip on the ropes I was supposed to let go of.
I think that at times Tana really hated me, especially on pair obstacles. I just couldn't bring myself to trust her....or trust myself. It's terrible to fear that you will cause the other's downfall.
After the most difficult obstacle I was glad to set my feet back on earth.
While Tana and Papuch went on with their adventures, me and Jane were glad to be finally standing. Our decision was correct as next they climbed up the highest obstacle in the whole park...Even Tana, who was hitherto really relishing the whole trip, was afraid. I would have died, no doubt. Already after an hour my feet and arms were trembling from exhaustion. The next day I wasn't able to lift my hands, my whole body hurt so much.....I wonder when do we go again :D
