Hotel Luz de Mono Montezuma

... usual jumping-off-the-rocks-into-water-where- we-can't-see-the-rocks thing and Farrah and I perched ourselves in a stream and relaxed. After a couple of hours we headed back down the hill to catch some afternoon beach rays and watch the surfers take on the huge breaks. It's very entertaining, it makes me tired just watching them! All that paddling...
Anyways, we laid low that night, made some dinner, played some cards at the hostel and ...

After dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

... bloedonderzoek gedaan worden....dat kan niet hier....het zou in Puntarenas kunnen in het ziekenhuis, maar dat is twee dagen dicht wegens festiviteiten in de stad.....zolang kunnen we niet wachten.....dus moet Margreet naar de hoofdstad San Jose.....maar hoe?.....er is een vliegveld op een uur rijden, en op 1,5 uur rijden is de boot naar het vaste land (die gaat om 5 uur voor het laatst, het is nu twee uur).
Enfin, er wordt veel gebeld met ...

Had to change plans as there was no space at Sirena Ranger Station. Margarita was able to organise alternative route into Corcovado
Got Marvi bus to Sierpe. Stayed in good cabinas and had excellent meal in their restaurant

... well, but in order to, we would have needed to rent boards in Montezuma and trek for kilometers to the beaches. Jason didn’t bother going for a surf, and it was as always way too big for me. Although a relaxing place to chill, it was pretty pricey and not all that much to do there. We decided to head to Nicaragua early in order to meet up with my fun and crazy Danish cousin, Helena. It would be a long 6 years since we have met up, so I was extremely excited to get going.

... because I have never seen a pineapple still growing ha. There are thses Howler Monkeys that you can randomlly hear, OOOO OOOOoooo OOOoooo, that are really kidna creepy sounding. almost liek teh sound is a scary movie. crazy moths and butterfly just randomly fly by. Then on top of it all theres the sounds of so many different birds and insects. But just chilling in a hammock for hours each day and watchign passiont fruit fall off the ...

... Londres) But, ultimately, I would rather live closer even. Hey, ask for what you want, right? I want to live right on the beach. But, I do like this place, I just don't want to settle here, for many reasons. But, for now, it is perfect, and just what I needed. They offer breakfast and dinner for all guests...and they have a great chef, named Paul...who, by the way, used to live in Phoenix (east valley even). They are building a watsu ...

... couldn't do it without hitting the way on the way down. I was more scared to do these things though after seeing the woman that broke her leg so badly up by the falls. It's a long hike, with not much of a trail. They had to carry her all way back, and the nearest hospital was about 6 hours away I heard someone say.
Gustavo was fun to hang out with, and before the awkward attempted kiss we went swimming in the ocean. That's when I was ...

... Also, we had to carry all of our food for the two day trek, so our packs were none too light. When we finally came around the corner and the base came into view... I don't think I've ever seen a more welcome sight! We cooked spaghetti for dinner, and went to bed early in anticipation of getting up at three to summit. Unfortunately, when we got up, it was very cloudy and misting. There would be no view from the summit, so it didn't seem worth going up ...
