River rafting





Our kind next door neighbour's Raul and Emily invited me to come rafting and i invited Mats and his Swedish visitor Anders to join us. The river is very near the San miguel brewery near Digos and a beautiful natural setting, rushing river, trees and canyon views.

We had 8 guides and 1 chef, Emily decided not to take part as she had done the trip many times and the mountain water was fresh to say the least, bloody cold actually but nice to feel cold here sometimes, honestly.

Didn't get any water riding the wave shots because we were on it and mainly in it (the water), it was an exciting and exhilarating experience about 2 hours of adrenalin rush

The pictures shown are Raul and Mats relaxing with a beer or two at the bottom, Emily supervising the lunch, very nice it was, our guides, the river and also a shot of our "raft", great fun and me and Mats are planning a longer trip down Davao river, which Mats has done before, an 8 hour trip, more sedate with beer and BBQ facilities, sounds fun to me.

A great must do, while you can do, experience, the "raft" looks a little basic. Cheers Andy

yes very basic the raft and you had the feeling of danger too, Raul done it about 40 times though and no serious accidents, so, i guess...well hope it is safe
