Pedas White Water Rafting & Twin Island 2010

Day 2 - onward journey for White Water Rafting


23 Nov 2010 - the magic happened here

Halfway to Tenom, our vans stopped and the guide asked us do we want to see magic?  The driver stopped the van, and on its own the van moved backward as if being pulled  by a magnet (see above pic) .  During haj last year, the Mutawif from our package also brought us to see this magic between mountain.  When asked the guide what is the caused, they were unable to explain.  Maybe the government has not really study it.  Who knows???

Lunch at Tenom before boarding local train to Pangi Statin

 We stopped at Tenom for lunch.  Then boarded a 50+ years diesel local train from Tenom station to Pangi station. From there we went to a nearby compound for safety briefing before we proceed with rafting.  The guide giving the safety talk was entertaining and funny and serious at the same time.  Though some of the kids were afraid of what to come during the rafting, but the way the guide gave the briefing, made them wanting to try the challenge.  We went on two rafts, one with 11 people, and the other one with 10 people.  It was really, really exciting!!  It involved team spirit, team work, listening skills, and supporting one another through out.  Most of all, we all had FUN!!!
