The Trip » Whitewater Rafting at Padas River |
|||
|
Whitewater Rafting at Padas River was easily the most fun-filled 3-hours we'd ever had throughout the trip. Floating into the rapids, getting thrown into the water, doing the "rodeo" and splashing water at other rafts made for an exhilirating ride. |

1.) For whitewater rafting at Padas River, we had to board an old English train at Beaufort. |
|
2.) What a nice surprise, as the train ride turned out to be a pleasant experience in itself! |
|

|
|
3.) We couldn't help but notice the simplicity of life for the locals here. Every now and then old women would board the train lugging heavy bags of food and goods for sale. |
|
4.) Old, dilapidated wooden houses like these are a common sight along the journey. |
|

|
5.) Occasionally, the train stops at designated stations to pick up and drop off passengers. Stesen Saliwangan is one of the better ones... some other stations pass off with just a single pole and a makeshift signboard. |
|
6.) The tracks eventually stop at a bridge, where we had to disembark. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.) We had to cross a bridge to get to another small station, where another train would pick us up. |
|
8.) Waiting for the next train... |

|
|
9.) ...and waiting... |
|
10.) Shortly after, we were on our way again. This time, Padas River showed itself. |

|
11.) Finally, we managed to get into the waters. It was the best experience :-) |
|
12.) Hitting the rapids, with Jason at the front doing a "rodeo". |
