Bus, Boats and Horses

The trip to get to Monteverde from La Fortuna on Saturday morning was about 4 hours. First a short bus ride to Lake Arenal. Second a boat ride to the other side of the lake to drop off the 4 people in our tour that were going to ride horses to Monteverde. We got dropped off at another spot on the lake and then got into a shuttle bus to drive us into town.

A long and curvy bumpy ride, but we made it! The cost for this shorten trip was an additional $10 USD. I guess my tour is what is called a "basic trip", which means all local transportation, and on this leg would of been up to 11 hours........so we all voted and paid for the shorter and I guess "upgraded" transport.

Our Hotel "Don Tacos"is quite nice. I'm in room 7 with Erica. Large room with one double bed and one twin bed. No TV or anything else. Some of the others were lucky and have small fridges or TV's. Luck of when the keys are handed out.

We went to "Morpho's" for dinner on the Saturday night. Kind of expensive, so Erica and I shared a big salad and desert.

Money is going really fast in these places.

There is always someone to tip!
