It funny, suddenly Wai Leng is not so motivated anymore after having seen the "Animal" channel on TV the night before. She is scared that there will be snakes and crocodile in the river... ;-)
So it is Monday morning, Mila is at the day care for the whole day and we got to decide: "go" or "not to go"?
I found on the Internet a rafting operator which is about 45 minutes drive from Denver. Next trip is at 11:00 AM and it is already 09:45...hurry up, Wai Leng, hurry up!!!...we finally manage to reach Idaho Spring just on time. We are both very excited for our first rafting experience in the Colorado (and the first time ever for Wai Leng!!).
In no time, we are ready. A short briefing on the security, the "does" and the "don't" while on the raft and we are already padling in the icy water!
For a first time, we did a modest 1h trip for beginners...but Wai Leng is already talking about going back for the intermediate level!!
...and after the rafting, do not forget to try the famous buffalo burger!!
Here is a great address:
The Buffalo Restaurant
1617 Miner Street
Idaho Spring, CO, 80452
