As mentioned in the previous post, we weren’t the strangest thing on the road. I’m not sure about everyone else, but this was my first ox cart I’ve seen on the road.
The climb up to the volcano took us to 2500m and into the clouds. Because of the cloud cover, we could not see into the crater. The kids were pretty good about it and made the most of it by… jogging?!? Yup, they must have gotten enough sleep!
While the landscape has been phenomenal, the view was pretty limited that day. Surrounded by clouds we couldn’t see the crater lake, so we headed by down after a quick look. I do have to say that the “cloud forest” had it’s own appeal.
We continued on our journey, stopping in for lunch in a local restaurant on the side of Poas volcano. It was probably our best meal of the trip to date. Deep fried plantains, roast chicken, rice… oh and the green salsa that Mrs. Teramura is so found of!
As we continued on to the Arenal area, we stopped in at a shop where we could buy gifts for the people back home and see the worlds largest ox cart.
After we picked up some shirts, trinkets and regional specialties we head to our hotel in Fortuna. it was much better than the previous one, with an inner courtyard and a pool. While the kids enjoyed their evening, they were somewhat contained for the night. Hopefully they got some sleep.
