La Posada Santa Cruz

... seats the whole way. We re-boarded the bus and were served lunch,
another unexpected bonus! This time we ate- we were starving. Nicaragua
was noticeably more poor than Costa Rica and Panama, but equally as
beautiful. We drove by the largest volcano VOCAN MOMBOTAMBO in the country and crossed
over countless ...

... menu and table service were all excellent. I’d give two thumbs up for this tour if only we were able to see Arenal clearly, least to say that it was covered with clouds, with no signs of volcanic activity. The drive is pretty long, so I would suggest an overnight stay in La Fortuna if you plan on engaging in any activity around the area, so the day won’t end up tiring.

... Vi gik ca. 3 timer i en helt fantastisk natur! Guiden var rigtig sød, og han gjorde alt for at forskrække os da han fandt ud af at jeg er bange for slanger, og Doro er bange for edderkopper. 2 dage inden vi ankom var en dame blevet bidt af en slange på stierne, og guiden sagde at det vrimlede med slanger inde i regnskoven. Så jeg var lidt små nervøs for at træde på en, men det blev heldigvis ikke tilfældet. Guiden var rigtig dygtig og vidste ALT ...

... for dørene i huset ** åbne hele tiden når d** ** nogen hjemme. I sidste uge åbnede jeg min kuff**t og da jeg løftede en trøje var d** en skorpion blandt mit tøj.. Fik hjælp fra fætt**en og hans venn** til at fj**ne den :P Lidt kylling ** man vel. Så 3 dage eft** var jeg heldig igen, denne gang med en stor edd**kop imellem mine ting. Lizzy men** det var en tarantel, jeg skal ikke kunne sige det jeg prøvede at kigge mindst muligt på den. Dagen eft** var d ...

... area, the animals around there including their calls and stuff so it was nice to learn as much as we can. We even tasted their Begonias (spelling bad) and it was soo good. Tasted like lemon. We weren´t able to see the volcano based on the weather and time so Elmer had made us Lava Drinks in the dark in an open area by the forest there. And as we drank and talked ... I finally saw fireflies and they were so majestic! I was in awe! It was like christmas lights twinkling in the forest ...

... i just didnt like it We were staying here to visit Manuel Antonio National Park, which was a short bus ride away so we would only be here 2 nights thankfully The next day we headed to the Nationl Park, because of the ease of getting here, hordes of tourists descend on the park and with the nice wide flat paths large groups walk along pushing strollers and talking loudly and as such the wildlife tends to scatter very quickly. Despite this it wasnt a bad day out, once you got ...

... at the hotel at 7am (too early for some people!) and we drove for about 45 minutes to another resort that is on the side of a volcano. There we were geared up with harnesses and helmets and had a 1/2 hour horse back ride to the top of the zip line tour. We started off on a line that was about 150m above the ground (we started on ground and ended on ground, but it went over a canyon) with a spectacular view of a ...

... I was looking for Monkey Island. It was visible from the hotel but I wanted to see the few monkeys that lived there. It was a tiny island (you could walk across it in 10 seconds) with about 4 monkeys who were prone to jumping on the kayaks (and apparantly biting people). I sort of kept my distance and went around them wondering if they were so vicious because they just wanted to escape the boredom of the island. Kayaking back to shore was well tough as heavy winds just set in and ...

... was from our torches (and the photographer's flashes) as we went deeper into the cave system. Some of the tunnels were pretty tight. We had to crawl on all fours through the mud and my big butt didn't even fit. I actually scooted down most of the small tunnels. Before we realized it, 2 hours was up. We had no idea how long we had been in there and most of us thought it was only about 30 minutes. It was a pretty incredible ...

... Italy. There were a few additions to the menu, such as a Tico Burger at Burger King, but nothing interesting was done to the food we actually got; Burger King and Church's Chicken. With a complete lack of anything else to do in Liberia, we walked back to the bus station, where I got a bubble gum ice cream cone and a girl asked me very slowly and carefully in English to watch her bags for her, complete with hand gestures. Not only was I amused by someone thinking it was okay ...
