Day 7/8


A lot of driving has taken place in the last few days. We have basically driven across Costa Rica...from the Caribbean Sea through the rain forest to Volcan Arenal and to the Pacific Ocean.

This is where we have been so far:

We landed in San Jose and had to drive through Puerto Limon, the main port, down the coast to Puerto Viejo where we stayed the first three nights. A bit further down the coast we took day trips to Manzanillo, a super small village (the farthest point before Panama). After our stay in P.V. we headed North back up the coast to Cahuita, found some amazing places to stay and eat. After a few nights completely cut off from you we headed to Volcan Arenal, the drive was amazing!!!! The girls slept most of the 5 hour drive and did really good except Remy got totally car sick but totally pushed through and was a champ!!! We spent the night at Baldi just under the volcano, the coolest place for kids and adults. I forget how many hot spring pools they had but every corner seemed to have a little hidden hot tub. Remy and Macy even went down the water slides, with us of course :) After our one night stay there we continued our journey across Costa Rica to Peninsula Papagayo where we are staying at the Four Seasons for five days. It is so nice and we feel completely spoiled with the service and the beauty! There really isn't anyone here and again it seems that we have the run of the place!!! After our stay here we will be heading back to the rain forest to Tilaran for some monkey spying :)
