Continuing on...rene's suitcase showed up shortly after we had shopped and kitted him out with a new wardrobe! Anyway all good so far. After a couple of chilled days at the Eco lodge we headed to the coast on a small aeroplane - 12 seater, and being a nervous flyer, was a bit preturbed to see that the (short) pilots couldn't actually see over the cockpit dash! However, I reassured myself that all the instruments required to get us there safely were in front of their eyes, and I put myself on 'looking left and right' duty! Rene was pretty chilled, and we headed up into the skies and the views themselves proved to be a wonderful distraction.
After landing in the the very lushous and stunning Nicoya Peninsula http://www.nicoyapeninsula.com/ and a short car ride we found ourselves at our pre booked eco lodge by the beach, in the town of montezuma. Famous for a hippy, easy going, slow paced life and surfing. I think there are some illegal substances going around judging by the looks of some of the street dwellers. However, nice place and we have quickly adapted to the pace of life. We have yet to venture up to the waterfalls as the rains have been quite heavy, intersperced with short breaks of sunshine. Rene is not much pleased with the price of wine here..and moreso the shortage of good red Italian wine, but yet he remains calm considering the importance of this sparcity! The Argentinian cartons aren't half as bad as they look!
We have sighted a large iguana, some huge pelican type birds, a large,well giant hamster thingy scuttling around which yet has to be identified. Monkeys have yet to show themselves to us also. The flora and fauna is stunning, and everywhere looks like a prehistoric dinosaur could pop out any moment!
Enough for now, we have to get back to the hammock and rocking chair on our veranda. love to all. xx
