Fifth Day: Beach time

Beach at Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

We found out that we wanted to go to the beach since we are close to Manuel Antonio National Park. We took the local bus to a beach near the park and used most of our day in the shadows of a tree on the beach. The current and the waves were a bit big for swimming and the kids are not old enough to manage swimming in the ocean alone yet. It looked like it would be some clouds in the morning hours, but it cleared up pretty fast and became very hot. We opted out of the chairs and parasol at first, but had to cave in and rent it anyway to get some more shade.

  

8kg Sandia

The breakfast consisted of pineapple, papaya and bananas together with a great smoothie. This time around we brought our own lunch as well! 8 kilo of water melon that took at least an hour to finish between the 4 of us. This is one of the best water melons I have ever had. Only wish I had a spoon instead of a knife so I could scoop all the good liquid as well.

The way to and from the hotel was easy with the local bus.

Next stop is Farm of Life which is about 2,5 hours in travel time from here. The blog posts will be less frequent during the Christmas time and our stay at the farm. Here is the link for the farm website. They even have their own youtube channel.
