Our day began with a 6 hour drive from the southern coast to the northern center of Costa Rica. We were very excited about seeing some different parts of the country. All I can really say is that the roads of Costa Rica are horrible, very bumpy and extremely curvey. LOL
This is grandma (brides grandma) looking at the only fresh water crocidiles. We had to walk along a very narrow part of the road to the middle of the bridge to get the best view.
The pictures just don't even do them justice. They were HUGE. The biggest one that we saw must have been at least 16 feet long. Amazing.
This was the funniest part of the whole day. On one of our potty breaks Jamie and I decided to buy a pop and when we asked for them they opened up the bottles got two bags and poured the pop into the bags handed us the bags with straws and called it done. LOL We were shocked and laughed for about 20 min. after getting back on the bus. These are the type of experiences that you just can't describe but that you have to keep the memory of. We found out later that when the pop is in a glass bottle they will do that every time because they get a deposit for the glass. Great memory. :)
Our "private" bus to our destination. It was a great trip with many of laughs. At least we had enough room for everyone to stretch out.
Our sweet ride!!!
Our hotel room wasn't as fancy as the last one but really for Jamie and I, we are not picky about where we stay because we would much rather be out exploring then hanging in our room and at the end of the day as long as we have some were to lay our heads that is all that matters and it needs to be clean. LOL
Our first dinner at Arenal. This ended up being our favorite place to eat. The food was wonderful. Each time we would get their traditional meal of rice, beans, salad and some sort of meat. It was great.
We had to take a picture of how close we were to the valcano but we weren't too sure if we would ever see the top of the valcano as the clouds were always covering it. This was a great town. We loved it because all the stores that we went into were the same stores that the locals shopped at and so we never felt like we were getting taken. We also felt very safe walking around and exploring.
