Days Three, Four, and Five

Saturday after a delicious buffet breakfast, we left for the beach and Playa del Ocotal. The view of the ocean from our front porch was incredible. There were iguanas everywhere, and we even saw whales (some of us saw them close up and the rest of us saw them in the distance). One group went snorkeling and another group took a boat tour on the river by the Pale Verde National Park. The park had many water birds, crocs, and howler and white faced monkeys. Everyone walked the black sand beaches and many enjoyed a massage. We ate at the hotel and at Father Rooster’s restaurant on the beach.

Monday we spent the morning at the beach and that afternoon and evening were spent in transit back to San Jose.  We were glad our wonderful bus driver, Wilson, could navigate the heavy traffic and poor roads so well. We checked in at the hotel Bougainvillea, a lovely place in Santo Domingo de Heredia.
