Last night, we walked for about two hours on the Caribbean sea side of Tortuguero searching for sea turtles. Unfortunately there were none to be found, although our guide for the evening found tracks belonging to several leatherback turtles.
Today, we traveled to La Fortuna. It consisted of a hour and half boat ride from Tortuguero to the ferry point, where we met up with our bus driver. We rode the van to La Fortuna, where we stopped to eat lunch about half a mile past our hotel, La Colinas.
After lunch, we headed to the hotel to settle in. We had a few hours of free time before dinner, so a group of us went out to explore La Fortuna. It's a very touristy little town, but there are several gems. I was searching for gifts to bring back to the States, and found the perfect gift for my parents! They are going to LOVE it and I think it'll make for a gorgeous addition for the living room. The best part? It was 50% off. Yay for awesome deals!
Afterwards, we had dinner. We all got in our swimsuits and packed extra clothes beforehand, and right after dinner we got on the van for a short ride to the Baldi Hot Springs. It is a resort, but has natural hot springs that are heated by the Arenal volcano. We spent about two hours there, and I am currently in bed. We have an early morning tomorrow. We are going zip lining! I'm so excited!
