This morning I went on a brief photo safari on my own before Wendy joined me and we headed for breakfast with the rest of the group. Breakfast (I know this is sounding repetitive but it is all true!) was simply delicious! By 9:10 we were on the road (again closer to Panama) for a few kms before parking by a beach that apparently had a reef nearby for snorkeling. The reef part was true but the conditions unfortunately were not ideal. The waves were quite crashy and there were some swells near the reefs which for the not confident swimmer definitely distracting. I love the ocean and snorkeling (although I prefer SCUBA) so I felt completely in my element - there were lots of fish and things to see but the visibility was not really great. So the girls headed back to the beach after about 20 minutes and walked with Jorge along the shoreline out to a cool lookout point. We stayed out maybe another 40 minutes or so and eventually packed it in as well. One of Wen's goals for the trip was to drink out of a coconut and so she convinced Pablo to climb a tree and get a few down. It actually turned out to be quite refreshing!
We had pizza for lunch and did some shopping for some necklaces which turned out to be a really good deal. We then had a long 3 and half hour drive back to Turrialba on yes you guessed it long windy roads complete with some killer potholes for the first hour or so along the coast but some amazing views!
We made it back for supper and then spent part of the evening walking around town, picking up some drinks and more trinkets!
