Arrived early into the port of Puntoarenas in Costa Rica.
We just beat the Queen Elizabeth in and she parked beside us.
After breakfast of porridge and a champagne mimosa we were
off on tour! We drove through the Costa
Rican lowlands before arriving at a river for our trip over the rapids!
After putting on life jackets and given a paddle we got a
one minute lesson in paddling the rafts and then we were off!
Mostly the river was quiet and it was fantastic floating
along with the current we saw quite a lot of wild life, howler monkeys,
iguanas, many birds and the odd croc!
The rapids were fun too although they were probably pretty
tame…..now Gillian wants to do some more exciting and faster white water trips!
( This is the girl that doesn’t do Disney rides!)
It was very hot so we dried off in minutes.
Had a pleasant lunch with another English couple who were giving
up life in Basingstoke for an old school-house, miles from anywhere in Wales!
There are no action shots yet, there was a tour photographer
and for $10 it didn’t seem worth risking our camera in the raft…..so assuming
they will post the photos we will put them on the blog when we get them.
It was a really fun day!
