Friday 4 January

The white water rafting on the Balsa River trip that had been cancelled the previous day was rearranged for today. We were picked up at 10.50. On the way we stopped to look at a sloth, which was very close to the roadside. Apparently the mothers visit their offspring every 6 months to see how they are getting on after they complete 1 tour of their domain.
After arriving at the river we were given safety equipment and briefing, the rafting was rated as 2/3 level. During the rafting trip the sun came out.

It was pretty cold and damp back at the hotel so some of us decided that another trip to Baldi hot springs was in order. This proved to be a good move, there was no rain this time and the springs were as enjoyable as the 1st time. We had more goes on the water slides.
