So we´ve just been on our little holiday, we went over to the Pacific Coast and the volcano. We started off on Saturday morning we left at 7am to get the bus to San Jose, then from there we caught a bus to Manuel Antonio. We found our hotel for that night, and next door they were feeding the monkeys so i got given a bit of banana and the monkey reached down and took it out of my hand, it was sooo cool!! So we had our first night in our hotel, that was nice we had a comfy bed and a nice shower and stuff. We wandered down to the beach and watched the sunset so that was really nice. Then in the morning we went down to the beach to do some sunbathing, it was so hot so i couldnt stay out too long because i was scared of getting burnt but it was a gd morning, we did some shopping and that was cool. Then we checked into our lush hotel on Sunday, it was the most amazing place ever. It was set into the landscape so that it didn´t affect the wildlife too much. The room was gorgeous, and we had an amazingly comfy bed, and a hot shower. In the shower there was a shampoo, conditioner, shower gel dispenser which was soo cool.....small things..lol. So then we found the adult pool, it was soo nice. The water was like a perfect temperature and the swim up bar was an added bonus which we thoroughly made the most of!The Sangria was very good, and the food at the hotel was amazing!!May have been slightly better for us because we´ve been living off rice and beans for the last month but...it was good whatever so... Tuesday morn we planted ourselves on a lounger by the pool and the weather was gorgeous again so that was a very good morning. We had to check out tuesday afternoon so we were sad about that and then we were even more sad when the journey that was meant to take us 4 hours to the volcano took 7hours and was a very bumpy painful journey. Anyways so we arrived late Tuesday night, had a nice sleep, woke up, had a nice breakfast. Then it was raining, and we couldnt see the volcano at all which was a bit of a shame but we did some shopping and had some lunch etc etc, bought some snacks to eat in the eve. When we got back to the B&B it was dark, we pigged out a bit on our snacks, then went in the hot tub and that was very nice, especially as it was raining outside and we were nice and warm in the hot tub!!So then we caught the bus back to Cahuita and were back here again now! And thats pretty much all ive got to say for now. There are more stories from the trip but havent got any time left on the internet so...another day!!
Ok so the stories, well if you have a look at my pictures, you´ll see a picture of the Jesus Chris lizard, that was a funny little critter. We were laughing at it because it looked like it wanted to come in the swimming pool with us, so i got out and filmed it running, then i think i scared it while it was just on the edge of the pool and it ran, but it ran straight across the water of the swimming pool and hoped out of the other side. It was crazy and it was so quick that i didn´t get it on the video so i was a bit gutted about that but...ah well. Also, on our way from Manuel Antonio to La Fortuna we stopped to get some food, and there was this random security guy standing there so we ordered some food and he dragged us off along this bridge and we looked down and there in the water below us were loads of wild Crocodiles! They were actually quite big too, the biggest was 5m long!! Ok well i think that´s all the stories from the hol, well all i can remember at the moment.
Last Night, my first night back in Cahuita and just watching some football, and a cockroach runs across the floor. So i tried to get Jose to kill it cos it was quite a big one, then he wouldn´t cos it had disappeared somewhere, so i went to bed to get away from it. I had just tidied my room from my trip and got all my washing out the way then i was walking back over to go to sleep and i noticed something by my door. I look over and there is the biggest spider i have ever seen in my life, and im not even kidding it was huge!! So i freaked out, and took a couple of pics of it, then i shouted through to Liam next door to get Jose to get rid of this spider cos i was petrified but in the end Liam got rid of it, got a plastic bag and squashed it and got it out of my room, thank god but this morning Natalie was looking at the picture of it and zoomed in and realised that the spider was in fact sat on top of and eating the cockroach that i had seen earlier. so that might give you some idea of how big the stupid thing was, so now im terrified to sleep in my room!!I have to hide under my mosquito net!! So i think thats about it. Its been crazy here today and the beach is packed. The weather isn´t very nice though so i´m not too upset. So think we´re going to play backpacker tonight and go to Limon tomorrow. So thats it for now, happy easter!!
