GREETING EVERYONE!!!! SO YES I HAVE TO BACK IT UP A COUPLE OF DAYS. ON THURSDAY MY LAST DAY IN MONTEVERDE ENDED IN THE MOST AMAZING WAY. I DID THE CANOPY TOUR WHICH IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ZIP LINE. LET ME SAY THAT I ALMOST BACKED OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND I WAS A BIT SCARED. THE TWO GUIDES CARLOS AND MELBE WERE SO NICE AND COMFORTING THAT I WENT ON AHEAD. AND PLUS I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY TIME BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THE TOUR. I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID NOT LET MY FEAR GET THE BEST OF ME. BEING UP THAT HIGH IN AIR WAS SO AMAZING AND BREATHTAKING.
ON FRIDAY I LEFT FOR LA FORTUNA TO SEE THE ARENAL VOLCANO AND THE HOT SPRINGS. I ARRIVED IN LA FORTUNA AROUND 11OO AM AND CHECKED INTO GRINGO PETES A HOSTEL AND A BACKPACKERS DELIGHT AT ON $5.00 FOR A SHARED ROOM. THE TOUR FOR ARENAL WAS UNTIL 315PM SO I HAD SOME TIME TO SPARE. I WAS SO GLAD TO BE IN LA FORTUNA BECAUSE IT WAS A BIT WARMER THAN MONTEVERDE. BUT SOON THAT ENDED BECAUSE IT RAINED DURING THE WHOLE VOLCANO TOUR. THIS WAS THE MOST INTENSIVE TOUR I HAD DONE.IT WAS RAINING SO WE HAD TO USE WALKING STICKS. I JUST PRAYED THE WHOLE TIME THAT I WOULD NOT SLIP AND FALL. SO AT THE END OF THE HIKE WE SAW THE VOLCANO IT WAS AMAZING SEEING AN ACTIVE VOLCANO. I EVEN GO TO SEE SOME LAVA OOOH!!! I COULDN´T WAIT TILL WE LEFT FOR THE HOT SPRINGS BECAUSE MY BODY NEEDED TO RELAX IN A SERIOUS WAY. THE BALDI HOT SPRINGS WERE GREAT AND JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!!
SO THIS MORNING I LEFT LA FORTUNA TO TORTUGUERO A ISLAND ON THE NORTHERN CARIBBEAN SIDE. NOW THIS WAS A JOURNEY A FOUR HOUR RIDE THEN A 30 MIN
BOAT RIDE TO THE ISLAND. AND I WAS NOT TO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THE SIZE OF THE BOAT. IT WAS LIKE THE BOAT IN DISNEYLAND ITS A SMALL WORLD. AND PLUS I HAD JUST READ SOMETHING IN LONELY PLANET TALKING ABOUT DROWNING. THANKS LONELY PLANET!!!SO I DID NOT HESITATE TO PUT ON MY LIFE JACKET. WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE ISLAND I IMMEDIATELY SAW BLACK PEOPLE WHAT A BIG CHANGE FROM FORTUNA AND MONTEVERDE. AND YES THE REGGAE WAS PLAYING. FINALLY I CHECKED INTO MY CABINA AND TOOK A QUICK SHOWER AND HEADED TO THE BEACH. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SO WARM I LOVED IT. ESPECIALLY SEEING THE BLACK SAND!!! BUT NOW ITS TIME TO GET SOME EATS!!!
PEACE
