Today was awesome! We got up early and headed out for Monteverde--a cloud forest about 4 hours away from where we were (Arenal). We took a jeep, then a boat, then a jeep. Here is the view from the boat:
Then, we got to our hotel, then on to the zip lining course! We were there for almost 4 hours zip lining. We had 7 small zip lines first, then one very long one, then two "Superman" ones which were the "Longest Zip Lines in Latin America" where you lay on your stomach as you zip line, then a "Tarzan Swing" where you jump from 135 feet in the air and free fall until the rope catches you and swings you back and forth!
I will upload all the videos on Facebook once I get better wifi. That is definitely one thing hostels in this country lack...
The day was AMAZING! It was good practice for what is to come tomorrow ;)
Yepe, one of the guys who caught us as we came down from the Tarzan swing, told us he was going to be at Los Amigos bar that night, so after we got back and had dinner, we found him and all his friend who also worked at the zip lining place there! It was so fun dancing with all of them, and I danced with Miguel too, who decided because I could dance like a Tica he would change my name in his phone from "Leah Gringa" to just "Leah". Haha!!
