White water rafting in Bosnia

White Water Rafting. 

On the third of July, we all went white water rafting to celebrate my birthday! It was so much fun and I really enjoyed it. The rapids were amazing and there were many other water-based activities that we did along the way!

When we first got to the rafting centre we had to change into our gear. This included Wetsuits, Life Jackets, Helmets and shoes. After getting dressed we all piled up into a jeep that would take us to the starting point. 

We then got taken to our raft which would have all five of us on it with two instructors. We started off by learning how to control the raft and how to use the paddles correctly. 

At first there were some simple rapids but as we went on they got stronger and more energetic. Sometimes we would even bang into large rocks that would make us jerk backwards. 

There were also some very fun and adventurous activities that we could do as well. The first one that we did was jumping off a high rock into the freezing cold water! It was amazing!

We also stopped at a beach where we could ride on some smaller rapids without the raft. We would simply let the rapids take us down the river!

There was also a much stronger rapid that we could ride down, but because of its strength me and my sisters weren't allowed to ride this one. 

There were lots of other rafts in the water too and when a group of us got close to each other, we would attack each other with water! 

After a lot of fun with the rapids it was time to head back, we paddled for around 20 minutes until we got to a different point where the jeep was waiting for us. 

After we got back to the centre and had gotten changed, we ate lunch that the rafting centre provided. It was really yummy! 

Overall we all had a great time rafting! It was really exciting and fun!
