Never thought I'd say it but I spent the morning Kayaking!In the spirit of doing something new I signed up with Jo in the hope of seeing the nearby Volcano from a different perspective. Since we arrived in La fortuna yesterday we have had torrential downpours which haven't seemed to stop so this morning as we opened the curtains we waiting in anticipation to see if things had changed!it hadn't!! It's unusual to have rain as we haven't seen it for weeks. Anyway it stayed dry enough for us to get out and get our arms working lots. We had two very charming young guides so on the way back we swapped around. Secretly hoping that the guides could do most of the work, I know it's terrible but my arms were seriously starting to hurt!! I had the nice cuban guy telling me that he is still waiting for his Princess and in the next breath can i have your email!! on the way home we had a surpirse treat. We stopped off at a layby which had a little path leading down to a river with roasting hot water from the natural springs. It's real local hang out with far too many speedos on fat old local men!! It was bliss and the pains were quickly soothed.
Yesterday evening as everyone heading to do a Volcano walk in the rain Jo and I went straight up to the Baldi Hot Spring Complex. What a feeling as your body melts immediately as you hit the pools. It was such a treat and pure bliss. Some of the pools had bars we chilled and drank mojitos. The highest pool at 40degrees had stone loungers built facing the wonderful background of the Arenal Volcano. Unfortunetly the clouds were too thick for us to catch a sight but as we lay there and looked at the dark sky above us I caught myself thinking again ..how lucky I am to have the opportunity to discover these wonderful places.
In the morning we catch a Ferry across the lake to alittle town on the other side called Santa Elena where we'll spend Christmas visiting the cloud forest.
Lots of love and Christmas Wishes to Everyone. I miss you all and I am thinking of you XXX
