Santa Elena: Cloud Forest
Vanmorgen vroeg de wekker gezet want om 6.30 kwamen ze ons ophalen om naar het cloud forest van Santa Elena te gaan. Zoals de naam het al liet vermoeden, regende het flink door. Sportief als we zijn hadden we er na ongeveer 5,5u zo'n 10,5 (jungle!) kilometer opzitten. In tegenstelling tot Monteverde dat we gisteren bezochten, was de wandeling vandaag een pak authentieker: geen perfect aangelegde paden meer maar eerder een vrij modderige bedoening. Terug aangekomen in ...

(I have learned a lot, but I still have a lot to learn. This past week we learned how to conjugate irregular verbs in the past tense, as well as imperative verbs. In class, we talk a lot and it is very helpful.) We have a lot planned for Monteverde, so I will try to stay up to date with this thing! Until next time, ...
The Great Outdoors
... of the distance we had to cover. In the end it took us around 4 hours to reach the waterfall. It was a pleasant enough walk though and we were even joined for the entirety by three stray dogs which, try as we might, we couldn't shake. Shortly before we reached the waterfalls, the dog which we thought was the best behaved of three showed us its true colours by chasing and killing a poor defenceless hen. After we severely chastised the dog it seemed ...
