Third and fourth day: leaving Arilapa and arriving at Mono Azul (Quepos)

After breakfast we packed our backpacks and took a last stroll around the garden at Arilapa. We went to the river that is in the back yard of the  Arilapa b&b. It was amazing! Then, we just walked to the bus to Alajuela.

In Alajuela, we changed to another bus that was going to San José. From San José (Tracopa terminal), we jumped on a bus to Quepos. We were lucky, because the bus was going in about three minutes when we came to the bus station. It is boring to sit on a bus in three hours, but we saw crocodiles and weird cows. The bus had a stop after one hour. We found a refrigerator in a corner of the "shop" with some sliced fruits in plastic boxes. I wasn´t happy, because I only like watermelon, and I don´t like fruit as a meal.

When we came to Quepos, we took a taxi to the hotel. "Mono Azul" is between the town Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. The hotel had three swimmingpools! Aurora and I were ready to swim as soon as we got there. It was nice to swim when it was dark outside.





Today we had breakfast at the hotel (fruit salad, pancakes, french toast) and just relaxed by the swimming pool. I swam alot. We saw two toucans high up in the trees! They were beautiful! For lunch, we bought delicious smoothies! I love smoothies!






We ate dinner in the sunset in Quepos. The restaurant had  a nice view over the beach and we saw a beautiful sunset. On our way home, we bought a huge watermelon, sunscreen and mosquito spray.

Oh, we just lost the power, or, the whole town lost it. It is very dark, except the light from the computer screen. I wonder how long it will take before i can post this post...
