Bridge is basically a structure built to provide
passage over physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, and the like.
It is therefore meant to make transportation easier. How about a monkey bridge?
Well, it can make transportation easier as well – that is if there are no other
means available. If there is no raft, no wooden bridge, or boat, then a monkey
bridge would be a great option to cross an obstacle. However, it could be an
obstacle itself.
During our trip to Manalmon, one activity that most of our
men co-hikers enjoyed was crossing the monkey bridge. What’s good about this is
that you don’t have to pay for the transport when you cross via the monkey
bridge, unlike if you cross the river through a raft.
It was indeed a thrilling activity since you have to step on
the wires and hold the wires as well for you to be able to cross and if your
legs and arms are not strong enough, you would plunge into the water. Well,
good if you know how to swim, you’ll still enjoy even if you fall. However,
considering the height, it will still be a painful fall. That’s the reason I
did not try it. I was not very confident of my leg strength plus I don’t know
how to swim.
