I was woken at 5am by a very different dawn chorus than I am used to…howler monkeys. What a fantastic noise!
We had some time to kill before joining up with today’s rafting group so we went for another rain forest hike and swam in a different waterfall than yesterday before rafting back to civilization through some very exciting class 4’s.
We got back to San Jose quite late and with an early flight booked to the Osa Peninsula tomorrow we stayed at a very nondescript airport hotel for the night. It seemed that the only dining options close to the hotel were American fast food outlets but we managed to find a hopping bar full of locals settling in for a night of karaoke so we grabbed a seat, ordered beers and steak and enjoyed the entertainment. It ended up being a really fun and memorable evening.
I must have been bitten by something in the jungle because my right ankle was swollen like a balloon but the good news is that my bronchitis is clearing up well.
