Days 8-10 & Home!

Two more nights in a tropical paradise and its back to Canada! We left for San Jose before lunch to drop of J & R at the airport with Gabi (one of the guides) & Jorge. We said our farewell to our new friends from the US - we seemed to click well with them! I would have no problem doing a trip with them again! Then we were dropped off at our resort where we hoped to get some rest & relaxation in style at an Italian-owned Hotel Martino before returning home to Canada!



The accomodations were amazing - it felt like we had been transported to Italy with the decor & statues that surrounded a beautiful pool. Pretty posh for us but we soaked in - the food was to die for! Italian food at its finest - steak for $12, pastas like Spaghetti Carbonara or Fettucine Alfredo for $8 - amazing, amazing, delicioso!


We spent time at a zoo across the street which happened to be situated smack dab in jungle making it somewhat challenging seeing some of the animals in their natural habitat! Everything from toucans to macaaws to monkeys to mountain lions to crocodiles! We bought a few more trinkets for our trip back home and tanned/burned some, swam, read books, and were successful in resting & relaxing!


All in all - this trip was amazing! I highly recommend celebrating ten years in the way that we were able to! We missed our girls but hey they got a holiday from us with their grandparents!
