Jungle Treking/Tubing

So I think that this is an on-going Bucket lister because there are other jungles that I'd like to trek. However, I have visited a couple of jungley (yep, a new word) areas that were beautiful. Above is a pic from a jungle trek in Hawaii (Oahu). I was "smart" enough to not actually climb the vine I'm posing with, but someone else in the group lacked, well how do I say it nicely..."intelligence." He climbed the vine, it broke, he fell, and I laughed (I probably should've been more helpful and concerned before I started cracking up...oops!). We eventually hiked our way to some beautiful waterfalls...wish I had a great pic of those.


My sis and I did a mini jungle trek in Belize. Our main jungley (addicting word now) adventure was tubing down the river. Since the water levels were a little low, we did have to stand up and push ourselves every now and again. At one point, our guide asked us to come close to one of the bushes on the side if the river. As soon as we were all positioned right along side it, our guide shook it and tons of bats came flying out. It freaked us out a little, but not so much that we started screaming and trying to frantically paddle our tubes away.
