Two long days of traveling by land and by sea... literally. The first hour on the boat ride was pretty cool. Iguanas, blue herons, sloths and crocodiles all made the trip very enjoyable. However, the next 5 hours were a bit difficult. Picture 20 people on a small motor boat. You´ve now pictured my last two days of traveling!
Day 2 saw Matt and I sharing his iPod to watch Ratatouille because honestly, there is just so much boat ride you can take. Thanks, Matt, for the distraction! Also, thanks to the crocodiles who kept us on our toes as well... too close for comfort on some of those encounters, but very cool to see them so close. Croikee!
The end of day four was spent in Tortuguero, a cute little town that is located in a canal of Costa Rica on the carribean side. I would have liked to spend more time here. Although extremely small, the locals are gracious and fun loving. Miss Junie´s offered up wonderful food with a nice atmosphere for dinner and breakfast. Can´t say much for the hotel side of it, though. Definately plan on visiting this place when the turtles are in season and nesting on the beaches.
Left Tortuguero early on the morning of the 19th and went (again by boat) to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. Destination: Rara Avis.
