With a nice late start, we were on the road by 9AM and said our goodbyes to Sarapiqui. It would be a 3hr drive to the coast and our hotel, the Colon Caribe. We had a quick stop at the supermarket to pick up snacks and water as our hotel was somewhat isolated and we would have limited option for groceries. Arriving at lunch, the kids enjoyed the usual…. rice and beans, or beans and rice. Afterwards they dispersed to several options including, the pool, the beach, the basketball court or the soccer pitch. Most kids headed to the beach to check it out. While they weren’t suppose to swim in this water a few of the kids did wade out in the shallow parts to feel the water, the warm water!
While the water was warm, the conditions were not conducive to swimming. Tomorrow we will head to an area where the swimming should be perfect. Most of the kids got plenty of sun today, so hopefully they lubed up with sunscreen. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
Much like the rest of the trip, insects and animals are abundant, The grasshoppers we found here were 4” long and hissed at you when you tried to pick them up. Hailey choose a nicer option.
