Kayaking in the rainforest

Up early to see the sun rise at 5.30 and having coffee on the beach. So beautiful! We took a walk, went swimming and just hung out as the day begun. Pura vida!
Today we were going on a trip, and our guide picked us up at 10. We always make the best of everything, but let’s just say we won’t recommend this guide on trip advisor😉
Kayaking was great though! First we kayaked the sea, following the beaches and managing the waves. It was raining but warm and as always beautiful.
Then we went down the river. So peaceful! Bamboo, Palm trees, cacao and mango trees and just lovely. We saw turtles, sloths, guanas and lots of birds as we followed the river upstreams. We were heading for the place were the monkeys are, and we could hear them from a long distance. Screaming loud! We caught a glimpse of them high up in the trees, but they decided to take off.
Had lunch on the shore of the river that our guide had brought, and then we went back.
We loved it!
Now we were supposed to go on a hike to spot birds, but it was more of a walk in the neighborhood! We saw a tucan and never got the hike that was advertised.
Oh well, go with the flow!
Back at Banana Azul we went straight to beach and stayed to see the sun set.
We had dinner in town at Lidia’s place. Good caribbean food- shrimp and Fish.
Another beautiful day in Costa Rica.
