So I made it to Jaco today via a speed boat from Montezuma. It was a cool one hour ride and we even got to see sting rays jumping outta the water and flapping their "wings" (I think I heard once that that has something to do with mating....not sure!). When we got to Jaco I said goodbye to Jenny and headed to Hostel de las Camas.....at first sight it's a pretty cool hippy/surfer/backpacker place....seems a little young for me though!
LOL.....what did I expect- I'm in my 30's!!!! The place is cool but I have heard one person say something about bed bugs.....eeeck!!! I think I may only stay here one night....maybe 2 max! I may move on to Quepos/ Manuel Antonio.....who knows! Either way I've heard that I need to at least visit Manuel Antonio.....Which leads to why I'm so confused! I only have 7 nights left in Costa Rica and there are things I want to see but they are in opposite directions! I would like to see the Manuel Antonio park and Cuidad Quesada (they have mineral hot springs!). I think I'll just head to Manuel Antonio tomorrow and stay there for 2 nights then head the 6 hours (so far!) to Cuidad Quesada and stay there for 2 nights and then head to Alajuela for 2 nights so I can see Volcan Poas....OR I can cut Poasoff the list and stay in Cuidad Quesada for 3 nights.....decisions, decisons! :op
Anyway....I'll keep you posted and let you know where my travels lead me! :o)
Oh yeah, yesterday Jenny and I went to this restaurant named El Sano Banano and we had a really yummy, although expensive dinner. The cool thing was that we got to see a movie with dinner! We saw Taken.....lol......not a great movie to see when you're about to head out on your own for a week in another country!
At night when we went to bed we were woken up at 3am by the sound of stuff rolling onto and off of the roof....almost like rocks or coconuts....THEN things running all over the roof! We still have no idea what it was but it went on for at least a half an hour! At one point I saw something run over the fogged plastic "skylight" in our room....kinda freaky! glad to be out of that hotel anyway! Although cheap there were big ants all over, geckos (cute but not above my bed!), and spiders IN my bed....lol.....hopefully this place doesn't have all those things tonight! :op
