Today we left our quiet cocoon haven, the bio thermal springs, which we had enjoyed for the past week, and drove " the never-ending nightmare" of a road (5 hours to cover 40 kilometers in first and second gear all the way!) interspersed with sheer drop offs and at times the road partially washed out. We eventually reached the town of Monteverde, snug in the misty greenbelt of two cloud- forest reserves( elevation 4000 ft)... a good massage would be greatly appreaciated right now. However the views were quite magnificent, and we joked about how the tourist folk were missing out on NOT charging us for this 'adventure ride) Rain gear, smartwool, and mud boots are definitely in order here. This is also our first hostel experience ( have to say I miss my own private bathroom, and the bed could be compared to a park bench... BUT, there IS a sloth sleeping in the tree right outside our bedroom window.
