With the surf so small, KR decided not to surf. Besides, Marco bought the two boards for 350 bucks last night. I went for a run, down to the river mouth, and KR collected shells. KR had breakfast first and I ate after the run. After a very quick swim in the pool, we decided to drive to Santa Elena.
Well, instead of the old way back, via Santa Cruz and Nicoya, we decided to try a different route, on the north side of Parque Barra Honda, ending up at Porto Moreno, which is a little fishing ramp, hardly a port at all, and had to turn around a bit, and after about 4 hours of bone jaring dirt road, which included picking up a local (lots of them ask for rides), we finally made it to the Taiwan Bridge (Puente de Armistad).
Then from Las Juntas, we turned up towards Santa Elena. It was getting cold, well, maybe 70 and after the 90 degree days it was a little chilly. We met this guy on the motorcycle, who happens to own Hostel El Tucan, so we were looking for the Arco Isis hotel he directed us to his place. It was 35 bucks per night. Room 2, with a double and a set of twin beds. Right over the reception. He suggested we go to the Kinkajou Night Tour, so 25 bucks each later, we went in the bus.
Donald, the tour guide had us each with flash light, we saw this two toe sloth, way up in the tree just scratching furiously. Several sleeping birds, and a tarantula, and some bugs, and a kinkajou !!!!!! And I think an olingo too, high up in the tree. Don lit up the animals with his powerful binoculars and we had a great time. Got home, ate at Morpho's and went to bed. The shower was very week, but warm, and the bed not too soft. The neighbor was a little noisy, but quieted down.
