The Paradise on Earth that is Costa Rica!

So we took a bus down to Quepos which is a small town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It's just like you imagine tropical little towns, it's so humid and hot too! And I thought the jungle in Arutam was bad! The girls had booked into a hotel for the night so I stayed with them. It was so beautiful, with a pool and palm trees everywhere. And the sounds of the rain forest are insane! You can here monkeys, birds and insects. It's really cool! We went out on our first night. First we ate in a really touristy and expensive place! We should have realised because it was full of old americans playing a quiz in the restaurant. But it was fun. Then we walked around the town looking for a bar or club. We ended up going to Republika Club. Where we met up with a Texan we met in San Jose. It was a fun night. When we left at 2am, it was pooring with rain! It's rainy season here! So we walked home in the rain and got drenched! I fell at one point, flat on my face. And I grazed all around my eye, but it's fine now! The next day we took a bus to Manuel Antonio, which is not even a town. It's basically a road along the beach full of restaurants, hotels and hostels. The main reason for people to go there is for the Manuel Antonio National Park. Which we didn't go to unfortunately! I wish we did though because you walk through the rain forest and see all sorts of animals, like monkeys, sloths, birds, insects. And of course there's a heavenly beach, which we saw from the Manuel Antonio beach. We went to the beach as soon as we arrived in Manuel Antonio. The sea was so warm, it was amazing! I didn't go out that night because it was raining of course. The next day we went kayaking in the Damas estuary. We were 2 in each kayak. It was so beautiful, we kayaked in the estuary and then through the mangroves. It was also pooring with rain. I was with the Texan in the kayak and it started filling up with water because the kayaks are hollow. So he was sinking in the back and we jumped into the river to take the water out from the top of the kayak where we were sitting, we didnt realise that the kayak was hollow and full of water, so when we tried to get back in, it just sank again and we tipped over! So we started using it as a float but ended up stopping on the side again to wait for our guide who was nowhere to be seen! Apparently he sank too and almost got swept away! We emptied our kayak of water and then a boat passed with other tourists and they told us there was a 15 foot long crocodile just 50 metres down the river! The river we were just swimming in!!
That night our hostel was almost full and a big group of us went out in Quepos. We went back to Republika Club. When we left the club we went to the beach and swam in the ocean! It was so nice! And back at the hostel we went in the pool too! The next day we wanted to go to the Manuel Antonio National Park but it started raining and there was no point going because we wouldn't see any animals! I really wanted to see a sloth though so I was a bit upset but then I saw one hanging in a tree near the hostal. It just looked like a furry bag hanging in the branches!
In the morning, we took a bus to Puntarenas to catch a ferry for Paquera and then took another bus to Montezuma, where I am right now. When we got off the ferry in Paquera it was bucketing it down and we got drenched! Montezuma is a small village on the beach! It's actually nicknamed Montefuma and I bet you can guess why! It is so beautiful and really remote in the rain forest. The beach is small but so beautiful! It's like paradise. It would be even more amazing if the sun was shining!!
Today we hiked up to the waterfalls close to Montezuma, it was really beautiful, raining of course but beautiful. The water was brown too because of the rain. The people we were with jumped in but the current was pretty strong so I didn't.
Tomorrow, I'll be heading back to San Jose, because I'm flying home on Wednesday. So excited!
