Monteverde

The boat that will take us across Lake Arenal

Cold and wet day...this is Costa Rica?!?!?

Heading up into the cloud forest

This morning I woke up to the sound of pouring rain! Luckily I got the have the best breakfast ever. There was a humongous breakfast buffet at our resort with so many things! I had 2 pancakes, a waffle, some watermelon, some cantaloupe, a hash brown, a fruit shake, scrambled eggs and toast. I wasn't going to be hungry again for a while! After a quick last soak in the hotsprings, we left the hotel to take a jeep, then a boat, then a jeep to get to our destination...Monteverde Cloud Forest. The boat was so slow, it was going maybe one kilometer an hour. I could swim faster than it! It took an hour to get across the lake when it could have taken 5 minutes at normal speed! On the second jeep we had to travel on a road that was so bad and bumpy. It was a plain dirt road in the middle of nowhere with bumps every two seconds! Once we finally arrived at our cabin we checked in and it was absolutely freezing and still raining! For dinner we went to a restaurant called Blue Morpho. For dessert I had one of the best desserts I had ever had! I got the peanut butter pie. It was so delicious! On the bottom it was chocolate cookie crumbs for the crust and on the top it was like this sugary, peanut butter thing that tasted like a mix of peanut beater, cream cheese, sugar and whipped cream. It was so good! After dinner we came home and went to bed.
