Day Five - Final Full Day of Fun :(

This was our final day of hoopla before heading back to reality. We had just the morning to go out on an adventure so off we went to rent some very taty dirt bikes that after riding on them we were surprised that they survived to bring us home. LOL We tried not to stop very often as Tyler and Michells would die and it would take us about 10 min. and a whole lot of sweating to get it doing. LOL In case you are wondering yes those are the same helmets from going on the zip lines so I guess because they figure they will save you life when falling from 100's of feet that they will save you when going 100 km an hour. LOL
We took a trip up and around the other side of the valcano which involved an hour drive on a very bumpy dirt road but the end result was worth it. The view was amazing. While we were up there it even put on a little show for us with lava flowing down the the side and rocks tumbling down. It was very loud.
More risk taking as I was riding on the back of our bike I had to capture a picture of T and M on their bike. It was such a blast and more great memories.
I had to capture a picture of my "old man" it is amazing how much hair he has lost over the years. That is quit the reflection coming off that bald spot. LOL At least it didn't get really badly burned. How I love this man with or with out hair. He is still the man of my dreams. :)
This was such a beautiful spot. We loved just sitting with our feet in the water and enjoying the piece around us.
On our journey we came across this shanty with a sign that said fresh cold coconut milk so we had to stop and try. There was this really cute little girl that tried her best to speak english. Her mom came out with 4 whole coconuts and with a very large knife cut them open.
It was so interesting and it tasted really good.
We were very sad to leave Arenal and one day we will go back. But we were on our back to San Jose for the night before our flight left in the morning. We had a taxi to take us back and at a stop we went to this was the friend that was waiting on the back of the bathroom door. It was amazingly huge about 4" long and just a tad bit scary.
Our final view of the jungle. I was excited to be going home to my children but the adventure of travelling is in my bones and something that I am always more than willing to do. It is also something that out kids have and thankfully they are full of the thrill of the adventure too so we are always planning our next trip. Keagan has it in his head that he wants to go to Africa so we are planning how we can start saving our pennies. Who knows if it will ever happen but you just never know. :)
Our final picture. This ride was a little bit more crammed than the last but still fun.
The beauty of the sun set from our hotel room in San Jose. We will be back.
Our hot rod that took us home!!!
