Day 6

8/16 (Day 6)

Today we were to go rafting and have hot spring. I felt very excited because it was my first time to raft. After leaving the hotel early, we took the bus to our destination for rafting. First of all, we all wore wet suits provided by staff. After 10 minutes warm-up, we got to the boat in the river and followed instructor’s command. The rafting was really amazing. River was cold and rushing, and we used the paddles to control the direction avoiding rocks. Following the wave, the boat went up and down and sometimes it seemed to sink as lots water got in the boat. Rafting was amazing, as well as the scenery on both sides of the river. Though rainy today, birds hovered above in the sky, trees were on the mountains covered by fog. Though felt cold and exhausted after landing, I thought it was one my most impressive experience during the trip.

After rafting, we checked in the hot springs resort. The buffet in the hotel was delicious. Then we enjoyed hot spring, sauna and swimming pool and play billiards, table tennis in the game room. All the day I felt wonderful.
