Blairski's Adventures
La Fortuna, Costa Rica
hey all,
I havew jsut returned from a great day of swimming in waterfalls and repelling down a canyon (with waterfalls). Luke Britt and I are getting along great.
After arriving in San jose and a crazy cab ride to the hostel in san jose we could finally say we had made it to costa rica. The next morning we caught a taxi to the bus station. the bus ride to La Fortuna took about 5 hours. Every tico (native costa rican) who got on did the sign of the cross before they sat down. that should have told us something right then. The bus ride was fairly uneventful but it was up a long and road up a mountain side. NOw we are in la fortuna and our room faces the arenal volcano. since it is the rainy season it is difficult to see the top, but the hike in the jungle around the base was pretty cool. Last night we hit up the hot springs which were very relaxing. Taxi drivers have been some what of a pain in the ass. We told him which hot springs we wanted to go to, but he took us to the expensive one instead, figures. This morning we headed to the local waterfall which was amazing. we swam around it to to play on the rocks behind it. the force of the waterfall was throwing us around, but it was great fun. this afternoon we repelled one of the canyons. we did 5 descents in total. most of the repels were through a waterfall. also great fun. tomorrow we head to monteverde by horseback. I don't think I will be able to walk tomorrow. stay tuned for more adventures!
