Two days ago we decided that we would go for an adventure to another rain forest - and if we got lost - well so be it. Then we changed our mind and decided that we would leave our car at the Hilton in Puntarenas, where it would be safe, and take a bus. However, when we arrived at the Hilton the young lady assured me that it would be a much better idea to drive ourselves - so that we could stop and... Read Full Entry

Very interesting - to bust or not..
Those are not "bull" frogs. We had these lovely singing creatures in St. Maarten. They really are tree frogs, you know, the lovely green tiny frogs that have the little bubbles on the end of the toes. On Discovery Channel the toe bubbles are coloured. WE had a run in with the tiny deadly tree frog creature one night when John didn't see it there - and put his hand on it . The frog was unmoved but John screamed and did the " Oh yuck! I can't believe I touched it, brruck!!!" Dance. So funny! They are small, took a picture of the beast to remember. Glad you are having fun. We are back last night - great time too. Love and take care CF + CC.

Rain forest
Interesting vegetation! Hey! Trying to find your way to the rain forest was a big no-no. Remember how we just about got lost on Gili T, an island that was maybe a mile or so long? And we were walking...we are directionally challenged. It seems that CC suffers from the same malady!

lots to see and do
Hi Fay - well you really seem to be making the most of your visit to CR - you have already seen more than I have (I have been several times). I am curious to hear about Monteverde, we talked about going this year, when we went to Arenal - we were told the road is terrible! So we didn't bother...Arenal is fabulous though, the lake is beautiful and the hot springs are awesome. Enjoy the rest of your stay.
